The cluster of thatched cottages, which form the Lodge, are set in cool shady gardens on a hilltop overlooking the bush. From the swimming pool and the shady trees on the front terrace there is a panoramic view of the lush acacia bush below and the Ghost Mountain in the east. In close proximity to the cottages and conveniently placed for evening entertainment, is our reed boma. This is a most popular spot to spend the evening - a place of warm camaraderie - the soft lantern light, the blazing fire, the sound of jackal and nightjar and the aromatic meals cooked under the stars - are undoubtedly a source of lasting memories. Game is approachable and easily photographed. Game drives in an open safari vehicle are offered. Tree hides are well placed for bird and game viewing. The Msegane river meanders scenically through the reserve and offers excellent bird and game watching opportunities. The riverine bush provides a habitat for the shy bush buck and suni as well as pink throated twin spots and the purple crested lourie. A booklet of the Birds of Abu Madi is available at the lodge. The swimming pool, cool patios and the shady gardens at the lodge provide refuge for those wishing only for peace and quiet.
