Star Beds offer a night under the stars
Have you ever wanted to sleep under a star-studded African sky listening to hippos snorting close by?
Imagine lying on the roof of your desert oasis as a fiery red sun slowly sinks below the horizon line. Dusk brings a jackal calling in the distance. Then the whooping of a lone hyena, followed by what sounds like cackles of laughter. Only a night in a Star Bed can offer this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Star Bed FAQs
What does a Star Bed room look like?
A Star Bed is an open-air structure in the remote wilderness offering a completely unique sleepout experience. Each Star Bed is different; while some offer just a basic deck and queen-size bed nestled in the trees, others are like mini safari suites.
Is there a bathroom at the Star Bed?
Yes, all of our Star Beds are equipped with a toilet.
How far will I be from camp?
Our Star Beds are located approximately 15-40 minutes from main camp. You will be transported to your Star Bed on a game drive vehicle and/or boat depending on the camp, of course enjoying a spot of wildlife watching along the way. All sleepouts are only accessible weather permitting, and only available during the dry season.
Will I eat my meals at the Star Bed?
You may decide to only venture off to the Star Bed after dining in camp or, if booked in advance, our chef can come to you. In the morning you’ll enjoy a light breakfast before departing on the morning activity, or if sunrise is simply too early for you to eat you may be treated to an on-the-go breakfast during your game drive. There’s nothing like sharing your bush breakfast with hippos and zebras in front of a waterhole.
