The camp has 40 tents spread amongst the bushy environment, providing a sense of privacy even with high guest volumes in peak season. A collection of modern and very open-plan wooden structures make the main area of the camp, including a bar, a lounge area, a shop, a spa, a pool and a kitchen and dining area. The kitchen use fresh produce, with their very own vegetable garden growing in the sunlight adjacent to the dining room, for guests to have a little look. These split-level spaces offer alternatives to guests sitting and relaxing in their private rooms.

The 40 tents are split into 12 luxury tents and 28 superior tents. The tents are traditional in style, with canvas walls and stone bathrooms. The Masai-inspired rooms are contemporary, often described as elegant and timeless. The furnishings in the room are made of a light wood, creating a soft and airy feel immediately.
