Let Your Wild  Be

OUR STORY

Deep inside every one of us, there’s something a little wild. We may not feel it every day,
but it’s there. Tapping from the inside. Asking for some space in your world.
That space is here. Waiting for you.

We’re in the world’s largest wildlife conservation area, the heart of KAZA (Kavango Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area) and Namibia’s Bwabwata National Park. Home to hundreds of elephants that roam freely on ancient migratory routes. Lions, leopards, wild dogs, hippos and buffalos too.


You won’t find fences here. No boundaries to how far your spirit can soar. It’s decadence amidst a raw yet lush landscape.
One which we endeavour to consciously keep as untouched as possible.

It’s where transformation happens, naturally. This is our home, our family, our community… and we’re waiting for you.
