Shumba Camp has six spacious tented rooms, each built high off the ground on a wooden platform. Canvas walls have been strengthened by a solid wood-and-pole structure. Above the canvas ceiling, a raised wooden roof covered in grass helps to keep the tent below cool. Each has a private wooden deck with a sunken seating area where comfortable cushions have been lain out along a wooden bench.

The interior of the rooms are long and rectangular with two queen-sized four poster beds pushed together at one end. These are draped with a mosquito net which is drawn for you before you retire for the night. A comfortable settee faces the front of the room where the canvas walls can roll up for an uninterrupted view of the plains and the antelope grazing below.

Luggage can be stored or hung on an open wooden shelving unit. You will also find a small safe to keep your valuables in here. There is also a small desk in each room and a plug point for charging batteries.

The bathroom can be closed off from the bedroom by a curtain although the toilet and large walk in shower have curtain dividers of their own. Twin basins are set in wooden bench equipped with complimentary toiletries. A full length mirror completes all the necessities to make up a marvelous bathroom. Each room also has its own outdoor shower with a view!
