...Francois was a bit concerned when I told him we would be staying in a tent...although we were royally welcomed and treated to a refreshing glass of mango juice at reception and told we had the best tent on the grounds...he still wasn't quite sure what to expect...

...he is about to be pleasantly surprised...


...our 'tent'...

...great spot for evening cocktails...

...and a bit of afternoon lounging...

...'this is my kind of camping'...



...en-suite bathroom...

...with his and hers sinks...

...a vanity area equipped with 
complimentary coffee and tea...

...and indoor seating area for two...


...our driver told us to enjoy some lunch, rest a bit and meet him back at reception for an afternoon game drive...

...so after a delicious buffet meal in the dining room we explored the grounds a bit...

...pool area with table tennis and other games in case we get bored the manager told us...bored?...don't think so...
