WILDERNESS RETREAT
Standing aloft and aloof on a high pinnacle in the Himalyas, Wildflower Hall is the sort of place that populates legends and, on first sight, makes you wonder if you are actually dreaming. The Hall offers stunning views – in fact, it’s part of a stunning view itself – and is surrounded by dense forest that is a winter wonderland in the snow, and a sea of rich green pine and cedar in the summer.
Inside, the Hall has been refurbished in a manner that would have met with the approval of Lord Kitchener himself. Wood panelling and original artwork abounds and complements the colonial-style architecture. Teak floors, hand woven carpets and open fireplaces complete the picture.

We had a wonderful safari experience in South Luangwa, Zambia this September. Despite a few unexpected setbacks behind the scenes, everything ran seamlessly for us. Our driver and guide were outstanding, and the standard of accommodation was truly first class.
