This deluxe riverside enclave is set under a canopy of ebony trees on its own private game reserve. The five independent, family-run camps (totaling 32 chalets and suites) are connected by trails, with each compound offering a pool, a gym and sweeping decks for observing wildlife in the river below. The Tree Camp features six exquisitely appointed cottage suites with leather beds, private plunge pools and salas for reading. The original Varty Camp includes massage facilities and a library (no children under age 6). Diversions include game-viewing, bird-watching expeditions and tracking adventures. Activities for families are also available. Children under the age of 16 are not allowed at Tree Camp or in the Private Granite Suites.

The privacy and exclusivity of the small camps; the sense of continuity and family tradition.
The five camps have a total capacity of 70 people, which is arguably more than would be ideal.
There is no better place in the world to see leopard.
