The luxurious tented camp consist of four en-suite tents overlooking the beautiful Busanga Plains. A central communal area comprises of a raised boma and dining area with views over the expansive plains and tree-studded islands where fig trees and wild date palms draw their nutrients from the remains of giant anthills. Take a refreshing dip in the pool or sunbathe on the wooden deck whilst taking in the resplendent landscape. For even better views of the floodplain climb up onto the wooden viewing platform on stilts nestled up in the characteristic fig tree above the boma.
