What makes River Lodge unique...
Lanterns sway gently in the dusk breeze, their light pooling across the deck as the Makhutswi River catches the last fire of the day. A fish eagle calls, its cry carrying over the water, while hippos surface with the slow exhale of an ancient rhythm.
You linger over a glass of wine, watching elephants wade in the shallows below, their movements unhurried, their presence grounding.
