The tents are spacious and en-suite. In some more remote cases, there will be hot water bucket showers which are cleverly designed to offer a wonderful experience. The camp staff are very hands-on, providing superb bush cuisine and insight into life in the bush and the natural surroundings. You come away in awe of how comfortable you were, especially seeing as you are in the middle of nowhere!
