The camp sleeps 20 guests in 10
thatched chalets. Facilities are en suite and include a shower,
toilet and basin. There is one honeymoon suite overlooking the
Zambezi River with an outside "bath with a view". The
central dining, pub and lounge area is under cool thatch, on the
river's edge, facing the escarpment.
Elephant take advantage of the
plentiful "albida" trees in the area. Bird watching tends
to be good, with the river attracting large numbers of water birds.
The grunting of Hippos can be heard all day. A wooden viewing deck
provides the perfect
place for gazing at the Zambezi River and the mountains. There is
also a plunge pool.
