All safari tents are placed on the upper side of the camp. They are mounted on a wooden platform and raised off the ground. The grass thatch roof provides a natural cooling system from the tropical sun and keeps out the chill during the tropical rains. The tents can be prepared for single or double occupancy. The safari tents all have a deck at the front, great for that sundowner in the wild.

"Bwana Tembo" derives its name from the Swahili "Sir Elephant" or "Master Elephant".
This name was chosen during construction when various groups of elephants visited the site, thus the camp is named after its wandering four-legged gentle giants.

Up to now visits from these magnificent animals mainly come during the night hours and leave early in the morning. So do not be frightened if you get woken by the sound of branches breaking and odd grumbling noises.
