By the way, staying here doesn’t mean roughing it – these “tents” are fixed, and are more like a room with canvas walls than real tents. They have a solid base, a thatched roof, screened windows and an en-suite stone-walled bathroom. Since our visit the camp has added some bungalows to provide alternative accommodation more suited to family groups, and has apparently refurbished the tents to make them even more comfortable.
The camp has a small swimming pool surrounded by a paved area with sun-loungers and chairs – a great place to cool off and unwind after an early morning game drive. All meals are included in your stay, and we found the food simple but tasty. Our evenings were spent watching darkness descend over the park over a cold beer, chatting to other visitors and Reginald, our guide, about animals seen, and then returning to our tent under the baobab tree to fall asleep surrounded by (thankfully) distant animal calls.
Do enlarge my 4th photo to see the elephants down by the river :-)
