Attractions- The sky – especially in the early mornings, evenings and when the stars are out
- Lookout for the resident woodowl, listen for the plaintive cry of a bushbaby at nightfall and many more sightings, both botanical and ornithological
- The sense of being comfortable in the wild without imposing
- While there are a few other lodges within the Weavers reserve, the likelihood of seeing any other guests is remote
- Conversation around the candlelit dining table or nightcaps on the deck surrounded by oil lamps
- Return to your room, run a bath, perhaps even persuade someone to join you. It’s romantic and you will be doing your bit for water conservation too.
