The beds have been custom-designed and locally made using bush logs and will ensure a good night’s sleep. All tents have flush toilets, showers, and wash basins.

Additionally, as a backup, a standby generator that supplies lights and refrigeration for the dining area allows cellphones and digital cameras to be recharged.
