Accommodation
Each of the camp's 'tented chalets' are carefully spaced out amongst fig trees on the ridgeline. Eagles, vultures and other raptors soar effortlessly at eye level, from your own private balcony, whilst the glowing sun rises with the dawn chorus punctuated by whoops of hyaenas below. Hand cut stone bathrooms provide a level of luxury to please the most discerning guests.www.crocodileracers.com
