By capturing the spirit of the original Castleton Camp, this private-use homestead retains its historical and elegant, comfortable nature. Castleton combines the most coveted elements of a private safari lodge with the rustic charm of a country farmhouse. Many original antiques and furnishings have been refashioned, adding authenticity to the living areas that extend outdoors onto deep, covered verandas that overlook tranquil lawns, a busy waterhole frequented by game, and an expansive swimming pool. Shared spaces encourage relaxation, togetherness and profound engagements with the African wilderness.
