The stay
Low-key luxury with useful practical detail
Etali keeps the scale small with eight standalone suites and one family suite. Private decks, splash pools and generous bathrooms make the rooms a real part of the safari stay rather than somewhere used only for sleeping.
An especially useful option when accessibility matters
One standalone suite is wheelchair accessible and the main lodge and dining areas also have accessible provision. That makes Etali worth considering early when a safari party includes a guest with limited mobility.
