Head back to the lodge to relax and refresh before a hefty lunch. Explore our lodge further at the information gallery, shop for souvenirs, savour our premium in-house beverages at the restaurant and take a dip in our dip pool to beat the heat. 

Gear up with your leech socks and get ready for an exciting jungle trek along our many trails. If you're up for an adventure, let your guide know, and they’ll take you on a longer trek through the wilderness.

When the sun sets, tantalise your taste buds with a delicious dinner, and proceed to head out for a night walk around the lodge. Experience the serenity of the night and keep an eye out for nocturnal creatures like civets, leopard cats, mouse deer, and moonrats that rule the night.
