Lentorre Lodge Underground Photographic Hide

About
Underground hide beside a permanent waterhole at Lentorre Lodge (four villas and two family units, max 16 guests) in the South Rift. Photographers shoot at eye level as zebra, antelope and primates drink by day, with lion, hyena, leopard and elephant often visiting in the evening; the lodge also runs doors-off helicopter flights over the soda lakes. Prime dates reportedly book up to two years ahead.
