Property details

The property

A spacious mess tent serves as the heart of the camp, where you can meet for delicious meals and share stories of the day’s sightings. The decor is subtle and understated, allowing the scenery to take centre stage. Outdoor canvas chairs and a fire pit provide the perfect spot to indulge in sundowners and conversation while enjoying the breathtaking sunsets.

The rooms

The camp’s six tents exude a timeless safari charm with contemporary touches. Each tent is furnished with a plush bed dressed in fine linens, a writing desk for journalling safari moments, and a private veranda perfect for morning coffees with a view of the plains. The en-suite bathrooms include eco-friendly amenities and bucket showers, adding to the authentic safari experience while ensuring you’re always comfortable.

Activities

Morning and afternoon game drives led by seasoned guides put you in the path of migrating herds, with plenty of opportunities to spot predators lurking nearby. You can also opt for bush breakfasts and al fresco dinners, which enhance the sense of adventure. When not on a game drive, relax at the camp and observe wildlife passing by or join guided walking safaris for a closer look at the smaller, fascinating details of the surrounding ecosystems. Evenings bring an unforgettable mix of stargazing and storytelling around the campfire.

Why we love it

The unmatched experience of waking up to the sounds of the migrating herds and dining under the stars in true safari style.

Insiders Tip

Book during the river-crossing season for a chance to witness one of the most dramatic wildlife events as thousands of wildebeest brave crocodile-infested waters.

Something to think about

This is a true mobile camp, so while luxury is present, it’s more about immersion than a lodge-style stay. With an age restriction of 6 years and older, young families will need to look elsewhere.
