“The Sambuk Suite was nothing short of spectacular. With a butler at our disposal and private dining under the stars, it felt like we had the conservancy to ourselves. Waking up to elephants grazing outside and falling asleep to the sounds of the African bush was magical. This suite offers a secluded slice of heaven for those seeking privacy and pampering amidst nature.”
