Located 15 minutes from Thawale Lodge and the main gate, this eco-conscious camp maintains a low-impact footprint.

Evenings are spent around the outdoor firepit under starlit skies. Limited electricity for essentials only. Not suitable for children under 12 years due to predator-dense environment.
