Get closer to the wildlife of this UNESCO World Heritage Site by silently gliding past hippos in a canoe as fish eagles soar overhead. Spectacular sunsets are guaranteed at the Fish Eagle Bar as you enjoy iconic sundowners. Keep an eye out for the property's resident elephant enjoying the berries in around the lodge. Take to the skies for a sweeping bird's-eye view of the delta, then saddle up and ride beside the wildlife.
