Deep in the heart of a desert wilderness lays a pristine environment that is the savannah red sand basin of the Kalahari Desert. This is home to some of the world's most fascinating wildlife. Here lies a reserve that redefines traditional safaris and embraces the concept of intelligent luxury.

The concept of ‘Intelligent Luxury' is a philosophy that sets aside the luxurious from the norm.

The true marked quality of ‘intelligent luxury' accommodation is that which offers the sensual comforts – tastes, smells and experiences - that will elevate the emotions of the traveler. It should offer a uniqueness that is truly deserving of being classified as a premium resort above all others, ultimately providing immense satisfaction to the traveler.

Resorts are striving to be distinguished by their inherent value of that which they offer to their guests to the point where they are able to charge a premium rate to the travelers without having that rate being frowned upon by the guest. When a traveler believes that the experience offers such immense satisfaction that the rate is of little or no importance at all, and that the quality and lavishness of the experience is of far more significance to the traveler, then that resort has ultimately succeeded in achieving ‘Intelligent luxury' status. The resort has then proven to offer its guests a superior level of value, not only through that which is self-evident, but to those who will acknowledge the appreciation of the reflection of class that the reserve offers. Holidays are becoming a lifestyle essential, and travelers yearn for experiences that are personal, adventurous and luxurious. African safaris are no longer solely defined by campfires, tents and mosquito wars in the bush. Travelers can look forward to luxurious safari experience with the most elegant simplicity.

To satisfy this class of traveler, reserves should present its guests with the epitome of stylish, yet rustic elegant luxury game reserve accommodation. To claim such lavishness, reserves need to be superior to their competitors – offering special features such as an outdoor shower with extended views over the Kalahari plains; private sundecks and heated swimming pools that open to the remarkable scenes of wild animals drinking at the nearby watering holes. Other extraordinary comforts that distinguishes an intelligently luxurious reserve from just another lodge is a wine cellar, library, laundry and valet service and a dedicated private chef that captures the essence of great wines and fine African cuisine. A traveler's extravagant safari experience isn't complete without being pampered with a luxury spa treatment under the African skies. Guests can relax and enjoy a sundowner as they unwind from their hurried lifestyles with only the stars in the southern sky watching over them.

The Kalahari wilderness offers unique game viewing as well as the opportunity to capture the habitats of the desert mongoose, the Meerkat. This serene desert is by no means dull. Travelers can take in the magnificent views of the red dunes from a hot air balloon on horseback, a private game drive or on a guided walk across the desert sands. The Kalahari offers much for travelers to revel in and presents an abundance of activities for children too.

These are the significant qualities that demonstrate a reserves true commitment to Intelligent Luxury in which the finer things of life may be enjoyed in surroundings that exist in harmony with nature.
