The camp boasts six deluxe tents and a spacious two-room family tent, all positioned to provide breathtaking views of the surrounding wildlife and the area’s natural beauty.

The thatched main area serves as the central gathering place for guests, offering comfortable seating and dining areas to relax and indulge in delicious meals while enjoying the stunning views and wildlife sightings.

As the camp is located within a concession area, the camp offers an array of activities to ensure that a stay is unforgettable. Enjoy thrilling game drives and walking safaris, where you can spot majestic wildlife in their natural habitat, and even go on night-time game drives, to witness the animals in an all-together different state of activity. For a tranquil experience, explore the Khwai River on a mokoro trip and witness the peacefulness of the side channels and meandering waterways.

The location provides easy access to the Moremi Game Reserve, where you can observe the Big Five and other incredible wildlife. Take a tour of the nearby village to learn about the local culture and customs, or embark on an exciting night drive to see nocturnal animals in action.

How our Tent Ratings work

These are based on our personal experience of the hotel, camp or lodge and should not be compared against ratings you find elsewhere. We intend to guide you and don’t be put off by a low tent rating as some of our favourites fall into the 2 and 3-tent categories.​

It is also important to bear in mind that standards vary from country to country and a 4-tent hotel in South Africa cannot be compared with a 4-tent hotel in another part of the world. 

To summarise our grading system, we have considered the following.
