What you’ll like most are the outside areas where you can quietly read or do your daily yoga. And oh boy, you’re going to love those delicious dinner nights and BBQs around the crackling fire. And when the need for adventure kicks in, the Salty Jackal crew can organize activities like skydiving and sandboarding. They can even help you book a 3-day safari to Etosha National Park or Sossusvlei.
