Each tent is elegantly designed, blending modern comfort with the rustic charm of the African bush. The rooms are equipped with en-suite bathrooms, large comfortable beds, and a private veranda where guests can relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of the wilderness. The raised platforms also help keep the tents cool and provide better opportunities for wildlife viewing right from your room.
