Our Yellow Zebra Opinion

One to discuss with us
Like all Serena properties, it has a great location, however, I usually avoid the Serena hotel chain, especially their small properties, but this camp is worth a look for price alone. A great budget option for anyone wanting a larger property with plenty of onsite amenities… but the standard of guiding is lower than other properties we’d recommend.”
Activities
Diverse activities
-
Activities include game drives, walking and motorboat safari, sundowner cruises, bird-watching, bush and sandbank picnics. Although this camp is extremely comfortable and the staff are both efficient and friendly, the prime game-viewing areas are an hour’s drive away.
*This property is unfenced and located in a wildlife area, so large and potentially dangerous animals do pass through. If you opt to stay here, always be alert when walking around the camp and request for a member of staff to escort you if you have any concerns. Any guest is escorted after dark as a matter of course.
Facilities & Amenities
The main area consists of a lounge, dining room, library and bar, all interconnected by wooden walkways.
A spectacular infinity swimming pool and sundeck is positioned high above the lodge.
The 12 guest tents are set widely apart and have canvas walls, thatch roofs, elegant Victorian-style bathrooms and private viewing decks. They are luxuriously furnished with rosewood furniture, crystal chandeliers and opulent rugs.
