The Rooms - Luxury Tent Or Suite?
We have a total of 10 guest tents, made up of 5 LUXURY tents and 3 SUITES and 1 DOUBLE SUITE.
Each tent has SHADE NETTING for both camouflage to REDUCE OUR VISUAL IMPACT on the environment.
Each tent is comprised of a porch area, main bedroom and en-suite bathroom with a shower and portable toilet. The main bedroom is furnished with a comfy king size bed*, luxurious 300 thread count linen and furniture made from GREENWOOD (recycled plastic from Tanzanian roads, in partnership with Dunia Designs).
All TOILETS are portable types (like ones found in camper vans) that we remove all waste and COMPOST IT to reduce our impact on the environment. TOUR OPERATORS please note carefully on this point. We don’t flush waste into the environment. So guests don’t understand why!
We don’t have path lighting, we use hand held solar lights in the evening to go to the rooms and once in the rooms there is lighting in the tents, and fans. Sockets are there for charging phones and cameras (but NOT high powered items NOR HAIR DRIERS!). All solar powered.
A private path leads from each tent to our natural swimming pool in the spring-fed stream.
*Each tent can also accommodate 2 extra single beds upon request.
The SuiteS
If you are looking for a little more luxury… These are a collaboration with Dunia Designs for recycled plastic decking, furniture and interiors. Quite simply the most eco friendly concept and design in East Africa (for now!). 100% removable, raised decking to reduce footprint, waste is removed and composted, views and concept are stunning.
The Mess / Dining Area
As the sun rises behind Gelai the mess tent fills with exquisite colours of orange and pink. Soon after, the strength of the sun heats the land quickly but the material of our tent is designed to keep you cool even during the hottest of days.
Guests can enjoy 360°views of the striking landscape that surrounds Lake Natron Camp. Look north to the lake where hundreds of thousands of flamingos come to breed; or to the south where Ol Doinyo Lengai dominates the landscape in every way. To the west, watch the sunset with a gin and tonic over the Masonic Mountain above the famous escarpment of the Great Rift Valley or just relax on our Bedouin style furniture (also made from waste plastic) and watch the world go by in one of the most peaceful environments you can imagine.
The mess is equipped with a bar, fridge, wifi and charging point for your cameras and phones. Please note this is the only place to “plug in” throughout the camp. Outside, guests can sit around the campfire in the evening and gaze at the millions of stars overhead from both the northern and southern hemisphere.
