Outside there are a camping chairs where to sit and enjoy sunsets, starry nights or simply relax and read a book. Toilet paper, towels, soap, a torch for the nights and clean water to freshen-up are also provided. Hearty breakfasts and evening meals are buffet-style. Meals are all on a shared basis in the dining tent enabling you to discuss the day's adventures with your fellow travellers. The camp is completely eco-friendly with all light being generated by solar panels, While the camp is certainly basic, the wonderful wilderness location along with the limited creature comforts, make a virtue out of the fact that acceptable alternative accommodation is non-existent.
