The main areas are open plan and open to the elements with sitting area, dining area, small swimming pool and an enclosed dining space which also offers an honesty bar and snacks to be enjoyed throughout the day.

Accommodating up to 16 people, the camp offers very spacious, comfortable safari tents with a unique design. Each tented room has a thatched A-frame roof with  covered patio; canvas sides with large windows offering fixed mosquito screens and roll-down flaps; double wooden front doors with fixed mosquito screens and a rustic en-suite shower room with space for suitcases and hanging space. Simple but all you could want.

The safari units vary in size, each sleeping 2-4 persons in comfort with  Some units have an interior bath tub and a private outdoor shower.

The surrounding landscape is typical of the undulating granitic Lowveld basin with large broad-leafed trees dominating the uplands, followed by Acacia woodlands, which give way to the large trees that form the riverine vegetation in the valley bottoms.
