Bush Camp Style
All the appliances work with
gas and warm water for showers is heated in a “donkey” (a big round drum
heated by fire). The shower is a “shower in paradise” - bucket with showerhead attached hoisted into a tree.
RECOMMENDED STAY is 5 days in which you will have an astonishing variety of activities to do
Day 1 - Boat out to sea, for scuba, snorkel, swim with dolphins or whalewatching.
Day 2 - Boat on the lakes - 3 lake tour
Day 3 - Canoeing - best birdwatching (Pels Fishing owl and Palmnut vulture) not to mention hippos and crocs
Day 4 - Horse riding
Day 5 - Tembe Elephant Reserve
In between - We supplement the primary activities for the day with cultural activities, beach trips, hiking and end most days with sundowners at our hippopools. See list of activities elsewhere.
WHEN?
The best time is probably July or August because it is less warm, the windy months have not started
and the whales are migrating. The turtles arrrive for nesting from the end of October to February
