clients can arrange to sleep out under the stars at the property’s Skybeds platform, a two-hour drive from camp.


WOW: Secluded suites are expansive and exquisitely designed. The door, set at the top of an ascending walkway, opens out onto a huge bedroom with a pitched roof. There’s a writing desk, Nespresso coffee machine, separate dressing room and an en suite bathroom with twin washbasins and a brass- embossed shower with emerald-green tiles. Guests hoping to bathe alfresco – since there’s nothing but wildlife for neighbours – will be in luck: there’s an


outdoor shower built around the trunk of a tree and a free-standing tub set against the backdrop of the bush. Three of the room’s tented walls are unzipped throughout the day, giving residents an unimpeded view of the nature that surrounds them. Outside, a wooden veranda has been carved around the trees, furnished with a plunge pool and outdoor seating area with a hanging basket chair. Every detail has been considered, from the colourful cushion prints and artwork inspired by local wildlife and vegetation, to the antique artefacts and trinkets such as maps, trunks and telescopes scattered


across the camp. It’s contemporary and stylish, without losing sight of where it is.
