Each unit stars a split-level bedroom with a king- sized bed, repleted with a fanlight for star-gazing and a powerful telescope. The glass-encased en-suite shower has both an indoor and an outdoor shower. A private balcony is perfect to lie back and watch the passing wildlife.

Meals are saved at both indoor and outdoor dining spaces. The fine Pan-African fare is entirely made up of a walk-in cellar. The outdoor dining compartment is set on a convex deck facing the desert and mountains far. On-demand, dinners, and branches can be tasted in a dramatic desert location, away from amenities.
