The camp is surrounded by clear waterways teeming with birdlife and game. The camp consists of eight large safari style tents with sewn in floors and windows, and en-suite bathrooms. The main building consists of a raised lounge/dining room overlooking the delta, and a plunge pool in which to cool off.
