The large walk in tents at Mdonya Old River Camp are spacious airy and cool. Inside are large, comfortable double/twin tents. Brightly coloured throws add character, and the furniture is simple and practical.

There is hanging space for all of your clothes, as well as a lockable large wooden trunk for valuables. Each tent also has a writing desk and chair. Woven makuti mats cover the tent floor, and there are plenty of candles around for lighting. A torch is also provided which is vital; there is no electricity.

Each tent has a large, private veranda with a deck chair – a great place to sit and listen to the sounds of the bush.

Through the back of the tent is the en-suite bathroom. The floor is polished stone, the walls are made from strong canvas, and the ceiling … is the open skies. Like the rest of the camp – the bathrooms are functional, rather than stylish.

The sink is a cleverly-crafted steel bowl set into a wooden surface – the tap runs into the sink and then you can remove the sink and tip the contents into a bucket underneath. Behind a dividing wall is the flush-toilet and hot-and-cold shower
