Bar, Lounge & Restaurant

During May the concrete slabs for the bar, lounge and restaurant were completed. In order to deal with the varying levels between sections and buildings as well as aesthetic purposes, the concrete was poured 'within' a perimeter of small shaped volcanic rocks. This then also hides the level of concrete from view when the buildings are seen from the outside as the walls will be erected inside but against the edge of this little rock perimeter.


The photos below show clearly how big the difference in levels between sections and buildings really is.

1st Foundations

Foundations commence at Safari Tent sites

A very happy day indeed. The first foundations were started today being the foundations for the supports of the safari tents and and the rock bathrooms.

The supports will first be erected after which the bathroom foundations proper will be dug. These foundations will then incorporate four of the supports' foundations. There are 12 support uprights in the planning which will support the tiled roof over the safari tent and bathroom.
