THE CAMP

The accomodation is built in a way that is sensitive to its surrounding environment, using local resources and materials. The round houses consist of comfortable rooms, decorated and furnished to give an authentic African atmosphere. All the furniture is locally handcrafted and the tye dye material is made in the village. All rooms have mosquito nets and lighting facilities. The flush toilets and showers are situated behind the accomodation in a separate building. All water is clean, fresh and derived from one of the village wells.

The main meeting area consists of a beautifully built hut with shells floor and big mohogany table where everyone sit around for eating and relaxing. There are also four hammocks for chilling from the mid-day sun. The area also includes the bar from where drinks can be purchased and where the buffet-style breakfast, lunch and dinner are served. The kitchen is situated just next to the restaurant area on a separate hut. This is where the delicious typical dishes are prepared by the whomen of the village.
