Mbamba

Surrounded by lush greenery, the main area is split into two lounges, which are filled with cushy and colourful furnishings and lofty glass cabinets displaying treasures collected over the years. You'll also find a small library for reading up about the area's history. Meals are served family-style at a long wooden table, where guests swap stories from their travels, or you can choose to dine under the stars. There's also a casual firepit for evening drinks; grab one from the well-stocked bar cabinet when the mood takes you. There is also a swimming pool for hot, steamy days.

Set on raised wooden platforms, there are 12 air-conditioned canvas tents; four double, six twin and two family. Shaded by large leadwood trees, each has a romantic four-poster bed draped in netting and interiors splashed with velvety textiles. The tents all have a spacious en-suite bathroom with an indoor shower, as well as a private patio to take in sightings of passing wildlife. A complimentary laundry service is also offered and the camp is entirely solar-powered.
