Lion Camp

The main area is both modern and cosy and features plenty of Scandi-chic pale wood, high thatch ceilings and trendy polished concrete. At the very heart of the camp is a fabulous fire pit – the perfect spot for morning coffees and evening G&Ts – but other highlights include the splashy swimming pool overlooking the lagoon and the full-size snooker table (really!). Meals are served in the shade of the ancient mahogany and sausage trees on the front deck and if you fancy some R&R, or indeed some retail therapy, the library area and shop will take care of both.

Stilted wooden walkways lead to the 10 rooms, all generously spaced and with a lovely treehouse atmosphere - thanks to the waving branches and flickering leaves that surround them. Thatch-roofed, with canvas walls, the rooms will have air-conditioning and a water-filtration system for better shower pressure. Outside, a spacious shaded deck will have seating for contemplation. Two larger chalets, one family-sized, have outdoor bathtubs for an exciting wilderness wash.

Guides will take you out on twice-daily wilderness adventures. On morning game drives, you're able to cover greater distances and follow bigger wildlife such as elephant and giraffe, buffalo and lion. Night drives reveal sightings of rarer nocturnal creatures such as aardvark, aardwolf, hyena and honey badgers.Take a guided walk to get closer to the game (although the distance is judged wisely), and open your senses to the vegetation and the sights and sounds of the bush's smaller creatures.
