It has seven standard tents and one large family tent that sleeps up to four comfortably, with two separate bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms. There is a swimming pool, open campfire, bar, and dining room. The camp is in an area with an estimated 30,000 elephants nearby, so game viewing is exceptional.
