THE CAMP
The best of game viewing can be experienced on foot or on game drive in specially adapted open sided vehicles. All vehicles are equipped with reference books and bean bags for photography, and all the necessities for a day in the bush.
The writer John Hemmingway once wrote that the camp is designed as a "boys fantasy of independence" along the lines of a traditional old-style African safari experience.
