The camp
The stylish main buildings extend over the Khwai River and are set on raised platforms to maximize the views over the surrounding lagoons and islands.

Constructed of local timber, reed and thatch they comprise of an elegant lounge containing a small but comprehensive library, dining room, expansive sundeck, plunge pool and sala with day bed as well as a fire-deck set under giant Jackalberry trees.

The reception lounge boasts a curio shop. The camp operates on generator power but at night all lighting is supplied by battery powered lamps, candles and paraffin lanterns, giving the camp an authentic African ambience.

There are 13 tents in total consisting of: 12 twin bedded tents – can be arranged as single or double beds - and 1 guide/pilot tent. The camp can accommodate 24 guests plus tour leader. The canvas, Meru-style classic luxury safari tents are raised on decks and have shower, hand basin and ablution facilities.

A unique water sprinkler system aids cooling in the midday heat.

Daily camp activities follow a rhythmic pattern in harmony with nature. Generally guests enjoy a light breakfast of coffee, tea, fruit juices, cereals, muffins and fresh fruit just before dawn and then set off on extensive safari drives, boat or mokoro outings.

Upon returning to camp three or four hours later, its time for a scrumptious brunch, including a selection of breakfast and lunch dishes.

A siesta is followed by high tea before guests set off again on a safari activity that returns to camp approximately half an hour after sunset. A chance to freshen up is followed by pre-dinner cocktails and snacks, dinner and coffee and liqueurs on the fire-deck.

Activities include game drives in open Land Rovers and water game viewing in mokoros in conjunction with powerboat exploration of the Okavango.
