The cocoons are positioned around five large clay-lined ponds which have been positioned to represent the paw print of a leopard. Each watering hole is lined with locally sourced clay, tiered to provide different water depths and multiple entry points for wildlife.

For Nature
The ponds are fed with the recycled waste water from the lodge to ensure no resource goes to waste. Stone cairns and driftwood positioned in and around the water bodies provide a diverse range of habitats for the endemic freshwater fish and crustaceans that thrive in them (and eat the mosquito larvae). The tiered access points allow wild boar, elephants and buffalo to come to the waters edge. Nesting trees have been planted around all of the ponds to encourage Peacocks, Bea eaters and Pelicans to visit the ponds.

Pure Class. The main building is extremely original & unique, a very cool domed, woven design. The family cocoon was very classy, so comfortable and with gloriously soft bedding and feather pillows. We also loved our little private plunge pool. The service was exceptional and the beach was beautiful.
