Arriving at Skaam Cabin
From the moment you arrive, Skaam Cabin’s unique design—blending art, nature, sustainability, and architecture—will captivate you. Its playful and daring aesthetic draws you in, with every turn revealing a new element to explore, from intriguing metal sculptures to breathtaking views.

Baboons are frequent visitors to this corner of the mountain. Watching their social interactions—whether it’s fighting for dominance, feeding, or simply being playful—offers a unique glimpse into their world. In one memorable moment, we caught them jumping from the walkway into the river plunge pool below.
