There is a dressing area and an open air bathroom with a 200 litre bucket shower, twin hand basins and flush toilet. There is hot water on request 24 hours a day.
The main building has a thatch roof and open sides, for a cooling breeze. There is a cosy lounge and a dining area where meals can be taken around the large tabe by the light of the chandelier. There is also a traditional campfire on the rivernank. The camp has a small library with reference information. Fresh meals are preaped from locally-sourced products and bread and cakes are baked in the oven each day. Lavish picnics are available for guests who will be away from the camp during the day.
Activities include morning and afternoon game drives in 4x4 vehicles and guided walks led by armed guides who use tradityonal tracking techniques and 'grass hides' to locate and safely observe wildlife. Canoes and infaltable kayaks can be used on the rivers when water levels permit, and half day and whole day trips are possible. For guests staying at the camp for longer than nights a stay at a fly camp can be arranged, for an even closer wildlife experience.
