If you pad out quietly, you won’t startle and scare off the wildlife grazing around the edge of the veranda. Several small gazelle, now aware that we are out here, eye us carefully but continue to munch on the grass.

It’s so still and quiet here.

The camp has been purposely built into the environment. There is no physical barrier – solid wall or high fence – to keep animals out and humans in. Each morning, you can see evidence that larger animals, even elephants, have walked around your tent. If you are a light sleeper, you might have even heard them roaming through.

Let’s walk up to the public areas for lunch. I spy a swimming pool. That would be the watering hole for the people.
You just knew I would find the water.
The main pavillion is in the background on the right.

While we wait for the other guests, we can take a front row seat and watch the animals moving about at their watering hole in the distance.

 The camp is full board which means that all meals and beverages are included. We will enjoy morning and afternoon tea and evening cocktails at the open bar. Bottled water and soft drinks will be provided as well.

 A delicious and leisurely lunch will be served shortly in the open air dining area just to the left of us. Afterwards, we have some free time to relax or enjoy that pool before the afternoon game drive with our driver guide.

There are no restaurants in the wild. You are relying on the camp for your daily needs. Therefore, the quality and variety of the cuisine becomes very important. I should have guessed that the owners are Italian from the design elements and the refined menus. No hot dogs by the camp fire here.
