• Lanterns in the camp and one solar lantern supplied per tent. Guests will need to bring their own torch. 
• House keeping and turn downs. Tents are sprayed to prevent mosquitoes and bugs. 
• Water is included, and guests can order soft drinks and alcohol from their guide.
• There is no electricity at camp, which means you cannot charge your items. 

The structure and itinerary is quite flexible, and determined by group dynamics and presence of wildlife. Activities take place on the waterways and on Chief's Island and Xaxaba Island.  This is a water based safari experience, with plenty of set activities on offer. Guests also have the option of indulging in a bit of fishing, but will need to bring their own equipment.
