ABOUT

The ancestral ritual of communal fireplace and dining – the essence of sharing… we are social animals, and part of what makes things vivid and real to us is our capacity to share: the joy is dissecting your day, raking over the delicious details and unwrapping the delights over and again, over the fundamentally communal experience of breaking bread. It’s also part of absorbing and storing memories – the re-telling and re-living makes it more vivid, and sets the place of the experience in our minds. The evening is for digesting and processing the day.

THE GUESTBOOK

"Dear Alex, we awoke this morning in a cocoon of a room floating on a cloud of bliss. Thank you for a sanctuary – exactly the tonic required!"

Saba Douglas-Hamilton, BBC presenter, Big Cat Diary

"An oasis of calm in a fairy-tale setting. A fantastic recharge of batteries and  a reminder of why Africa is so special"

Tom & Faith Martin

"Africa! Miles and Miles of Bloody Africa! How wonderful to be here, surrounded by life rejuvenating itself perpetually. Hopefully we will be able to teach the world how delicate this balance is and preserve it for as long as possible.. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality. All our love"

Ela, Serra, and Stefano.
