Big Lagoon Camp: picture gallery


Big Lagoon Camp is a very rustic camp which blends in perfectly with its surroundings.
Big Lagoon Camp is all about walking safaris…
… but back at camp, there is plenty of space to sit back and relax.
The main area is comfortable and very open...
... with a lovely seating area...
... and a small reference library.
Enjoy delicious meals at the round table – all made freshly in the camp.
Help yourself to a refreshing cold drink from the bar…
… which is always well-stocked.
Enjoy nice evenings next to the fire pit...
Or relax during the daytime...
As the sun sets, enjoy a drink by the fire followed by a hearty dinner…
… and then retire to a comfortable bed for a good night's sleep.
During the day you can lift the blinds in your chalet…
… and inside it is a lot brighter.
Take a seat and watch for wildlife.
Each chalet has its own en-suite open air bathroom with a wash basin...
… a flush toilet…
… always fresh towels…
...and a hot and cold shower.
There is sometimes wildlife in the bathroom too!
During a canoe trip...
...or walking safaris, you will often stop to photograph the stunning landscape...
...and wildlife, whether large...
...
...or small.
