Renovation Update: With the start of the dry season, the renovations in camp are in full swing
The roof in the main area has been raised to maximise views through the lodge and a team of thatchers is hard at work.
The new poles that will form the base for the new rooms and boardwalk have been loaded on trucks and are now enroute to camp. The foundations have been laid so the poles will be put in place as soon as they arrive. These poles were sourced from a sustainably managed plantation in South Africa where they are grown specifically for the building industry. They are not indigenous to South Africa and so are planted and grown for this purpose.
The heart of the camp is being updated too. The roof structures are being opened up to maximise the exceptional views. The swimming pool and bar are undergoing extensive facelifts and the lower deck will be extended in an attempt to immerse you even more in your surroundings.
