Anabezi Luxury Camp

The camp shelters beneath beautiful old ana (winter thorn) trees, its buildings perched atop wooden platforms. Canvas and reeds create the roofs and walls of the main area's rambling structures. Dining happens under cover or on the veranda, usually at separate tables. There's a large, open-sided lounge for relaxing and a bar beside the small plunge pool. Beneath the deck is a sandy boma area, with a campfire at its centre. Breakfasts are sometimes served here, and exciting traditional dinners.

Elevated wooden walkways lead to 12 tented suites, all large and generously spaced within the riverine forest. Enter through the sitting room (with a minibar), into the spacious bedroom, furnished with either a double or king-sized bed draped with mosquito netting and, mercifully, a ceiling fan. The dressing area leads into a large bathroom with a double basin, shower and freestanding tub. There's also an outdoor shower and huge deck with a private plunge pool and sun loungers.

Enjoy tailor-made tours of this beautiful park by land or water. From game drives (day and night) to walking and canoe trails and motorboat trips, the menu of activities is extensive and the knowledge of those who conduct them is equally deep. The region is well-known for its relaxed, and plentiful, wildlife viewing. Expect to see a host of predators (lion, leopard, hyena) and other mammals (buffalo, elephant, kudu) as well as the less common species (sable, wild dog).
