Accommodation
The camp features five spacious en-suite double safari tents, three of which have twin beds. Each tent is equipped with a full bathroom, including a single vanity, mirror, and amenities, along with a fan to ensure comfort. Guests can relax on a multi-level viewing deck with a plunge pool, a lounge area, and a boma. Dining options include both outdoor and covered spaces, and there is a guest toilet located near the deck.
Sustainability Commitment
In keeping with a strong focus on sustainability and environmental conservation, the camp is entirely solar-powered. For this reason, hairdryers are not permitted on the premises.
Connectivity and Power
Due to the camp's remote location, mobile connectivity may be limited and inconsistent. This is especially true during load shedding, when cell phone signals can weaken.
No Wi-Fi
Disconnect from the hustle and bustle of daily life and enjoy a digital detox. The camp is off the grid and powered by 220v solar energy.
