The rooms are spacious and airy and include a lounge area, and large changing area leading to the bathroom with indoor and outdoor showers and 24 hour hot and cold running water. The furnishings are luxurious with comfy leather chairs, Persian rugs and traditoinal claw-foot bathtubs.

The shady environment of the camp hosts a great variety of birds and squirrels that visit daily. A family of hippo and an elephant or three are regularly sighted from the tents. This contributes to the relaxed calm that prevails at Lagoon Camp.
