  Inside the cottage, there is a flag-stone terrace running the length of the house, bordered by well-trimmed garden plants, with an attractive place to sit and enjoy the sun. And as you take a leisurely walk down near the riverside, there are two swimming pools and a small green field where children can run around and play.
  The place is a haven for wildlife and home to all sorts of creatures from buffalos, lions, rhinos; elephants to warthog, with a regular visit from cheetahs and giraffes- a really enchanting sight particularly morning hours.
