What is the accommodation like?
The accommodation consists of classic Sahara-style tents measuring 4 x 3 meters, each with an impressive high roof that creates a genuine sense of space. At the back, a 2 x 3-meter en-suite bathroom provides privacy, while out front, a 2 x 3-meter covered veranda offers a shaded spot to relax between activities.
Inside, guests sleep on sturdy base camp beds fitted with comfortable mattresses and proper bedding—sheets, duvets, and pillows all provided. The bathroom setup is authentically rustic: a long-drop toilet and bucket shower positioned at the rear of the tent. Showers can be requested hot, warm, or cold, with water heated over the fire in traditional safari fashion. While guests can shower whenever they like, guides may need to restrict water use during Kalahari trips depending on availability. Hand and bath towels are supplied, though guests should pack their own toiletries and personal items.
Lighting comes from paraffin lamps placed on the veranda and in the bathroom, plus a rechargeable LED camp light inside the sleeping area. Small tables in both the sleeping and bathroom areas provide convenient surfaces for personal belongings. Despite these camp lights and additional lamps positioned around for navigation, a personal headlamp proves essential. It's genuinely useful for reading in your tent at night or catching up on journal entries while listening to the sounds of the wilderness outside. The camp's advice here is worth heeding: invest in a decent headlamp rather than relying on cheap promotional ones. The difference in quality becomes apparent quickly, and if traveling as a couple, each person should bring their own.
