Each features a private viewing deck for casual game viewing and intimate dinners. The main area comprises of a library, dining tent, infinity swimming pool and Sunset Deck with a large firepit where you can relax between game drives and where you will gather for a drink before supper.

70% of camp staff come from local Maasai communities
