The reserve is particularly notable for housing the world's largest concentration of endangered white rhino on private land, protected by an exemplary anti-poaching unit that has maintained a perfect conservation record.

The lodge offers an array of experiences including professional guided safaris, bush walks, stargazing, and spa treatments. The culinary experience features modern African cuisine, adding to the authentic safari experience.
