Guided nature walks and hiking trails provide an insight to the scenic and ecological aspects of the environment with its wide diversity of desert-adapted flora and fauna.
At the end of the day the blanket of stars, which lights up the desert sky, are brought to life through the lodge’s high powered computerized telescope. Housed in a separate building, this Meade Telescope affords the amateur and the professional star-gazer a close-up view of the galaxy.
