CAMP DESCRIPTION
The Camp is open from April 15—Nov 15, a lovely thatched lounge/bar area with upstairs viewing deck and lots of comfy furniture is complemented by a similarly styled dining room with al-fresco dining area, set under a large winter thorn tree and overlooking the Zambezi River. Other amenities include a viewing hide overlooking the confluence of the Zambezi River and the seasonal Chowe River—favoured watering site of numerous mammals and birds, and a unique “amphitheatre” that is a cosy boma in the cooler months which becomes a rustic but refreshing plunge pool in the hot months. A small gift shop has curios, safari wear, film and toiletries available.
Accommodation is in large insect-proof safari tents on wooden decks, with canvas flysheets, all with en-suite but not enclosed facilities, flushing loos, 24 hour lighting, hot & cold water, electric power for fans and charging batteries, beds with top quality mattresses, and mosquito nets—all with wonderful views.
