  · The camp is physically made up of 4 twin rooms, and may only be booked on a sole use basis - for 1 to 8 guests.
  · Rate-wise, the minimum number of guests required is 4 and costs will be adjusted accordingly. However, pricing has been adjusted to make it more affordable for parties of all sizes.
  · There is no separate guide accommodation, so should you have a pilot or guide, that will need to be taken into account i.e. they would be in 1 room, leaving 3 rooms for guests.
  · There is only one vehicle available - no private vehicle possible - which is why sole use is required as you may have up to 8 people may be on the vehicle at the same time.

Other game is abundant, such as impala, lechwe, kudu, zebra, giraffe, buffalo and bushbuck, and their predators: lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog and spotted hyaena. Rarer species such as sable and roan antelope also emerge from the woodlands during the dry season. Birding is spectacular.
