There are eight luxury safari tents that sit on raised wooden platforms with grass-thatched roofs. Each tent has a private terrace offering stunning views of the forest. The inside of all the tents are decorated in African style with a queen-sized bed, bright coloured linen, and large windows. An en suite bathroom of local stone and bamboo completes the tent.

Other Room Types

Seven Forest Cottages are located throughout the nearby forest. These single-room cottages have a private veranda, twin beds, and a sitting area. There is a full en suite bathroom with a shower and flushing toilet.

The Sky Tree House is ideal for those guests with a sense of adventure. This remote tree house consists of a simple bedroom with basic facilities at the base of the tree. The house overlooks a scenic elephant wallow, so not surprisingly; the elephants are herd passing by at night.

  • Primate Lodge was great and I'm glad we stayed there. The proximity to the chimpanzee trek was ideal. We had a great time there.
