Situated on the side of the Nguruman escarpment, overlooking the stunning expanse of the Great Rift Valley, the camp is positioned ideally to make the most of both an incredible view and the cool breeze. Constructed using naturally-occurring white quartz stone, pale thatch and other materials, and using water as a prime feature, each open-air room provides a very spacious, shady oasis in this green desert environment. With privacy, comfort and relaxation in mind, each room consists of a plunge pool and informal sitting areas, a bathroom with a view and an outdoor shower. A unique and artistically appointed camp, using natural materials, smooth white walls and water to create a fresh and unusual approach to the bush experience. 6 thatched rooms: 4 doubles, 2 twins. All rooms en-suite with private plunge pool and lounge. Extra beds are possible. The main lounge and dining area consists of a high thatch roof overlooking Mount Shompole and the Rift Valley. Dates: Open all year Rack Rates 2008 (subject to change): Game Package includes: Conservancy fees, shared game drives (up to 6 persons per vehicle), local beers, selected wines and spirits, soft drinks, laundry, transfers.
