Chalkley Tree House
A unique tree house has been built at the site where Guy Aubrey Chalkley originally climbed the trees to set up camp away from predators. The treehouse is a safe and secure room on a raised platform in the trees where guests can opt to spend a night of luxury in the wild beneath the stars.

Guests are taken to the treehouse at sunset, where drinks and a delicious picnic dinner await them. They then enjoy the hours of African dusk relaxing and absorbing the beauty and sounds of the bushveld as it transforms from day to night, before turning in for slumber beneath the stars. As dawn breaks, guests are collected by their ranger for a morning game drive, followed by a delicious bush breakfast at one of the many animal and bird hides.

In the treehouse, a bush bedroom is set up to accommodate up to two guests for the night with secure access and as many of the room comforts as are practically possible.
