Rooms

Intimacy is the order of the day, as only eight tented suites are set atop raised wooden decks, each with a shaded porch. Five tents overlook the grassy plains, where antelope are abundant, while the rest offer views of the waterways. An inviting African ambiance is prevalent in the rooms, as they are furnished with polished teak floors, dark wooden furniture, and leather-bound trunks and nightstands. The rooms are spacious and are separated from the bathroom by a wooden door. The large en suite bathrooms contain double porcelain basins, a walk-in shower, a toilet, and a large mirror.

Facilities

Gourmet meals are served throughout the day, starting with an early breakfast before the morning activity. After that, a buffet lunch is enjoyed. Before the afternoon activity, afternoon tea is served alongside savory snacks. Dinner follows the afternoon's adventures. Central areas include indoor and outdoor dining and lounge areas and a bar. The camp features an inviting swimming pool.
