wild.
The ballroom is dominated with carvings
and statues of celebrating creatures such as leopards, elephants, crocodiles
and zebras, while the sounds are magnified in the still air. Only the occasional
laugh of they hyaena and the bark of a baboon disturb the silence. But
as they myriad of lights beckon from the velvety sky above, the night is
alive with laughter and happy chatter from the buzzing “visitors” where
showtime promises glittering razzmatazz.

streets, which comes alive in the grand ballroom. You will be greeted upon

colourful lanterns hang from the ceiling.
