There are many outdoor activities available in the falls, and we are happy to provide you with details and help in booking.
Suggested activities include:

The main area of the camp holds the restaurant, lounge, library and bar with full views of a watering hole that's popular with wildlife. In addition, you can access a quaint treehouse and a solar-powered pool to cool off during the heat of the day.
You can go on two excursions day, which consist of safari drives and nature walks.

In the evenings, guests can either enjoy a delicious three-course dinner inside the main dining area or a cozy dinner under the starry African sky next to the nightly campfire.
