The lodge offers luxury and privacy, making it well-suited for safari excursions into Etosha. The main building is nestled among large, ancient mopane trees in a wild yet park-like setting. Guests arrive at reception via a curved wooden walkway that winds through tall grass and gnarled trees. The lobby features a bar and spacious seating areas, with an open design that draws the eye to the vast savannah, where animals can often be spotted. The large infinity pool also provides views of the open plain and the two waterholes in front of the lodge. Small private seating islands offer a place to watch the sunset. Evenings can conclude with a glass of wine around the campfire in the lounge. The lodge operates on 100% solar power.

The spacious chalets are integrated into nature. They are spaced apart and aligned to ensure privacy and unobstructed views of the savannah. Each chalet features a terrace, ideal for relaxing in the shade of mopane trees. An outdoor shower is hidden within a tree. The living space is 75m² and includes natural furnishings and colours. Amenities include air conditioning, Wi-Fi, a minibar, and a tea and coffee station. The chalets also come with private sundecks, loungers, armchairs, barrier-free showers, a fridge, mosquito nets, a hairdryer, and a safe. The two-bedroom family units have a shared bathroom. Elevated on wooden platforms, the suites feature floor-to-ceiling glass to maximise views. The en-suite bathrooms have large walk-in rain showers and private outdoor showers accessible via sliding doors.

The lodge offers a restaurant, bar, and lounge. Dinner is a five-course meal served in the restaurant. On windy nights, meals are served inside, but usually evening meals are on the outside deck overlooking a frequently visited waterhole. This setting provides the sounds of nocturnal nature as an accompaniment. The lounge has a cosy campfire. A curio shop is also available.
