accommodation
It’s hard not to be seduced by the charm of Bilimungwe.
Here, the traditions of an African bushcamp meet elegance and style and create a stunning camp that feels as if it has grown organically from the surrounds. At the heart is the lounge area, shaded by a huge mahogany tree and overlooking a waterhole. The four thatched rooms are raised on stilts. The rich, wood interiors echo the trees and the furniture is hand-carved by local artisans. After an early morning game drive, head back to your room for a refreshing, open-air waterfall shower, or continue the wildlife spectacle from your private deck.
Experiences
Take advantage of the exceptional knowledge of the exceptional knowledge of our resident guides, and head out on a combination of walking safaris, day and night game drives, and sundowners on the river's edge.
