Guests have various accommodation options to choose from.

PERMANENT FURNISHED TENTED BUSH CAMPS (X6 two single beds) AND PERMANENT FURNISHED FAMILY TENTS (X3 four single beds): The permanent furnished tents are nestled in the bush and we offer guests the opportunity to experience the African bush under canvas. The camp is modelled on the heyday of exploration, a golden era when adventure lay around every corner.
