backCHELINDA LODGE

 

Nyika means “wilderness” and in this unique area herds of roan, eland and zebra wander the open hills, whilst in the thick undergrowth, leopard can be found. Rare and elusive species of birds inhabit the forests and during the summer months (September to April) the wildflowers and orchids provide a startling collage of color.
