Hosted dinners while sharing stories with field guides and fellow guests provides an atmosphere more akin to staying with friends in the country or a private safari lodge than a typical luxury hotel. Rates include gourmet meals, beverages and twice-daily guided safaris exploring Arkaba’s privately owned and mind-bogglingly old landscape alive with wildlife. The comfort and civilization of Arkaba’s beautifully restored five-room Homestead is the perfect base from which to explore, with just ten guests at a time.
