Mukambi Fig Tree Bush Camp

Sandy paths lead from the tents to the open-plan lounge and dining room. Elevated on a wooden deck, the canvas-roofed main area has beautiful views of the beach and lagoon. To one side is a communal dining table; to the other a few comfortable wicker chairs and couches. Nearby, the famed fig tree hangs over a boma, where alfresco dinners are served around a crackling fire. From the camp, a path leads to the lagoon and its shady hammock.

Four light-flooded tents are raised high in the tree canopy, making for some sensational views of woodland, lagoon and plains. A wooden staircase rises to a stone veranda at the front of the room, where there are a few wicker chairs and a small table. Inside, twin or double beds are surrounded by gauze windows on three sides, while the en-suite bathroom at the back, which has a shower, basin and flushing toilet, is enclosed by a reed screen.
