Okutala Lodge is well known for its Banded Mogoose’s, Rhino’s and pet Giraffe that roam freely in the lodge from time to time.
The golden rules are:
- Keep your room doors closed to prevent the Mongoose entering your room
- Keep a safe distance between you and the animals, especially the Giraffe and Rhino
- Do not feed the animals
- BUT, take a lot of pictures
