Choosing Your Stay

Which Stay Suits You?

Choosing

With Children

Look at the lodges first, then ask about age rules, family rooms and a pool. Private houses give you the whole place.

Choosing

Couples And Honeymoon

Choose a tented camp with a private deck. Ask us to add a bush dinner or a surprise.

Choosing

Groups And Families

A private house means your own chef, guide and vehicle. We can manage the sleeping plan for every age.

Choosing

On A Budget

Bush and mid-range camps give the same wildlife for much less. Green-season rates are the lowest.
