The Venues

The Lawn Terrace
A wide sweep of immaculately maintained lawn, bordered by indigenous flora and natural thickets, forms an exquisite backdrop for open-air events inspired by the African landscape. It’s an ideal space for couples envisioning a romantic garden ceremony, offering ample room for guests to gather in an environment that is both sophisticated and relaxed. The layout is highly adaptable, with private corners and customizable arrangements suited to the tone and size of any event. Sculpted berms not only provide visual interest and privacy but also frame the setting in natural beauty from every angle.

The Tree Bar
Positioned under the shade of mature indigenous trees, the Tree Bar offers a cool, inviting retreat anchored by a distinctive Bedouin tent. The venue transitions effortlessly from a stylish bar area to a paved terrace and adjoining swimming pool, creating a cohesive and elegant atmosphere. Perfect for more intimate occasions, the Tree Bar comfortably accommodates up to 50 guests, with the option to expand capacity to 100 when needed. For those hosting a wedding, the adjacent Lawn Terrace makes a perfect companion site for the ceremony itself, enhancing the overall experience with seamless flow and scenic charm.

The Askari Dining Hall
Overlooking manicured gardens and open lawns, the Askari Dining Hall features a generous wraparound veranda and a warm, inviting interior suited to seated receptions and private functions. Its elevated position offers guests uninterrupted views across the estate, while its calm and intimate ambiance is especially well-suited to smaller wedding celebrations or exclusive events of up to 50 people.
