The rich encounter begins upon arrival at the airstrip to commence a personalized African experience with lavish treatment and every convenience. From the breezy gazebo to a spacious pool, scenic views are maximized as natural platforms and levels are utilized for key areas. An open viewing lounge provides literature from eras past in a setting of ultimate sophistication.
As the afternoon sun sets professional guides lead a walking safari, where guests can discover the intimate aspects of the African bush by identifying animal tracks, feeling the rustle of a scuttling impala, and relishing in the nature that surrounds. Gazing from open–top safari vehicles or our unrivaled spacious riverboats, hear the cry of the francolin and feel the hippos move the water beneath you. For an equally rewarding experience tailor made fly camping or fishing excursions may be arranged. Every activity allows one to retreat with true understanding of the surrounding beauty.
After an outdoor journey, guests join in discretely placed dining areas set in the heart of the wilderness, whilst always under the attentive eye of personal butlers. Pristine service and etiquette is matched with crystal, silver, and paramount presentation. For continuously appealing ambiance, dining locations vary from the riverbank to the pool’s shallow overflow or even a private veranda meal for special occasions. Imagine sumptuous dinners served under moonlit skies before retiring to a serene resting place where the African wilderness can penetrate and enhance dreams.
As dawn breaks, brightly lit red and orange skies illuminate a new day, a new beginning, and a new experience. At Amara we truly understand the African bush and how to harmonize it’s beauty with real luxury. Let us be the point of commencement for not only experiencing Africa, but also truly living Africa.
