The property

Beneath a canopy of magnificent jackalberry trees, the main tented area faces out across the seasonal river, with open sides leading down to the surrounding bush. Raised decks make the perfect spot to look out for game while tucking in to a delicious meal - the camp is unfenced, and wildlife frequently passes by at close quarters. Between game drives, relax around the swimming pool during the heat of summer, or find a quiet spot in the lounge.

The rooms

Each of the six en-suite canvas tents is beautifully situated along the river, with private decks in secluded spots beneath the trees, and linked to the main area via raised wooden walkways. Spacious interiors with burnished teak floors and vintage decor give a feel of safaris of old, with crisp white linens and opulent drapes adding a romantic twist. Modern comforts, including air-conditioning and electricity, plus an outdoor shower, tick all the boxes for a luxurious safari experience.
