FOOD & BEVERAGE FACILITIES: Lunch is served al fresco on the banks of the Ewaso River, where the graceful elephants come for their daily drink and wallow.

Dinner is served in the shimmering light of the candelabras, or privately under the stars, to the accompaniment of the resident pride of lions’ nightly chorus. Dinner is an elegant affair, with silver, crystal, fine wines and freshly baked bread.
