Camp is tastefully designed, totally blending in with the surrounding
bush and offers comfortable beds, en-suite bathrooms and a refreshing

We start the day with a cup of coffee and rusks, before
setting off on a game walk. We walk for approximately 3 hours in search
of game, stopping regularly to learn more about the ways of the
bush. Return to camp for a late morning brunch. A guide and tracker
lead all walks. After the walk, it's time to relax around the pool
and to enjoy the camp. Thereafter we conduct an open vehicle game drive,
which develops into an extensive night drive. This provides us with the
opportunity of viewing nocturnal animals, otherwise not normally seen.
This evening we enjoy a hearty bush braai and an evening's relaxation.
Fall asleep to the sounds of the wild.
