They also offer complimentary bottled water, although the tap water is perfectly safe to drink. The rest of the camp offers a gift shop for souvenirs and a traditional African boma/dining room serving award winning meals, a pristine pool to cool you down on hot days, a bush bar and deck overlooking the nearby waterhole and an exclusive tree house 1.5 kms away from the camp for bush sleepouts.
The 15 well-spaced tents are nestled in a Tamboti grove on a dry riverbed. The main building comprises a large open bar area, infinity pool, and comfortable sun lounges from where you can watch wildlife drinking at the nearby waterhole. The tents offer an open veranda elevated on a wooden platform for maximum relaxation. They are furnished with soft leather couches, extra length beds, mosquito nets and open air en-suite bathrooms. Due to the layout and terrain, only children older than 12 years are allowed. Other features include a fan, mosquito net, reading material, bottled water and homely comforts.
