Accommodation

There are 13 tents set amidst the lush greenery of the reserve keeping you within personal touch of the environment while you experience the tented safari lifestyle. Each tent is positioned with maximum viewing potential from your private terrace as the animals roam freely.

The intimate camp accommodates 30 guests in 13 large tents constructed in canvas on a wooden deck with an en-suite bathroom (toilet and shower). Each tent has a thatched roof and its own private terrace with safari chairs, offering an intimate lounge/ dining experience in your tent.

Wildlife

The camp is open to visitors all year. Game viewing is at its best the dry Winter (May-October)  as animals congregate around water holes and the lack of foliage and grasses gives you a clearer view. But it does get cold at night and during the morning game drive, so pack accordingly. For bird watching, summer (December-March) is best: the rivers are full, the bushveld is lush, and there is no shortage of materials for food, nesting and hiding. This is prime holiday season in South Africa, but it can get seriously hot. Autumn (April-May) is also good for birding but probably the worst months for bigger game. In spring (November-December) you can spot lots of new-borns.
