Lions Corner
The game-viewing hide furthest to the South, within the Resort, is Lion’s Corner. Guests meander down a few short stairs and into this guarded lookout point with spectacular views over the Crocodile River. Shallow pools and juts of rock cause smaller rapids and intrigue in the waters, as smaller antelope arrive in herds to quench their thirst.
