Overlooking the river, our luxury safari tents are serviced by our exceptional staff, who will go out of their way to make your stay unforgettable and as enjoyable as possible.
Our luxury tents have double/queen sized beds and sleep two, though additional beds for children can be added to the larger tents. Relax in the comfort of crisp white linen sheets. Each tent has its own en-suite bathroom equipped with a shower, basin and toilet. Gas heaters can be added to the tents at an additional cost.
The camp has a large luxury lapa fitted out with a lounge suite, dining table and a fully equipped kitchen with a gas stove.

During the day you can hike through the eco-trails that ramble through the stunning estate.
