Experience at Noel Rodrigo's Leopord Safari
Accommodation is in twin, double or family tents that are set away from each other to provide privacy. The customized South African canvas tents have a zip-up flap system for the windows and doorways to keep out insects. The tents are well ventilated with sizable windows right around and even on the roof. Each tent consists of a sleeping area that opens on to a small sit-out with camp chairs. There is also a side table, shelf, camp chair, side-stool, mirror, torch and umbrella. The toilet, shower and wash basin are detached, located just outside in two separate tents. The w/c is a bio-degradable flushing toilet and the shower consists of a separate changing area. The water for the shower is manually filled each day: hot water is provided for the shower upon request.
