you choose to spend time at your private plunge pool, reclining on the couch in the lounge, lazing on your bed with a good book, or soaking in a bubble bath, you will not be cheated of the breathtaking panorama. Life at Narina has a timeless quality, where you can get lost in a moment, and take the time to really explore this piece of Africa on the banks of the Sabie River. If you want to escape from real life, Narina is where you need to go. It is subtle, sophisticated and serene – it’s an escape that everyone should enjoy at least once in their lifetime.

For the hopeless romantic, the adventurer, the person who needs a complete disconnect and digital detox, or the wildlife enthusiast who prefers the bush au-natural consider the Tinyeleti Treehouse. Arrive at sunset to a scrumptious picnic dinner, and spend the hours of dusk fully appreciating the vastness of the bushveld as it transforms from day to night. Fall asleep directly beneath the Milky Way where you may well lose count of the shooting stars. Watch the sun dip beyond the horizon as you sip on a cocktail or a glass of bubbly. You will be utterly riveted by the many animals that arrive at the river to quench their thirst. The Tinyeleti Treehouse, which translates to Many Stars, is an overnight wilderness experience that has no match.
