Mvuu Lodge

Ironically, Mvuu Lodge feels more like a camp - with less stone and more canvas - than Mvuu Camp. Its canvas tents have a classic bush-camp feel, enhanced by their tucked away position in the dense vegetation that borders the lagoon. The thatched dining room, lounge and bar area sits on a raised wooden deck. It has a warm, sociable atmosphere, with a ring of chairs for everyone to join in, while the dining room can be set up for private or communal dining. Down a long walkway, raised high enough for wildlife to move freely through camp, you'll find a pleasant swimming pool with a large deck and several reclining chairs. A fire-pit lies on the edge of camp with a view out over the river.

Eight luxurious tents stand on raised wooden decks along the edge of the lagoon. Each has an outdoor seating area with comfortable armchairs and a hammock. In the centre of each room is a large double or twin bed surrounded by an enormous mosquito net. Three of the tents have a private lounge area and an open-plan bathroom with an outside shower. Four other tents have bathrooms separated from the bedrooms by a stone wall, but no lounge. The delightful honeymoon suite is tucked down a sandy pathway next to the lagoon, with an outdoor bathroom and bathtub, as well as a shaded lapa with a few chairs.
