Our Beliefs

Our lodge has been built repectfully, in an eco-friendly way sourcing local materials to ensure the utmost authenticity for your stay. All workers came from the local area and upon completion of the lodge, many continued in employment with the lodge as waiters, cooks, security , etc. We also provide educational opportunites to our staff. We support our local communities by educating a best practice towards the treatment of the horses, ensuring the animals we hire are well kept and fed. Our vision is to develop practices so that everyone, through their work, can maintain a decent and dignified livelihood and develop to their full potential.
