Featuring four-poster beds, the spacious tents include a mini-bar and fan. Some have a private outdoor shower, while others have furniture on the veranda for al-fresco dining. Positioned over the river, the rustic restaurant with wooden roof serves a buffet breakfast and lunch. The dinner menu includes characteristic African cuisine, accompanied by music. All meals can be taken outside on request. The neighboring Masai Mara is home to the Big Five and has been declared the 7th Wonder of the World.
