You step through a low gate into sun-baked scrub and the restless, wind-sculpted divi-divi trees—Aruba’s dry savanna opens and the birds are already moving. Massive ostriches pace with quick, deliberate steps; curious emus tilt their heads and approach for a close inspection. The Savanna Lodge bar hums quietly nearby, the smell of grilled local fare drifting over the compound.
