A long-running Heritage Hotels camp on the Talek River at the meeting point of the reserve's four main game areas, with the Ol Kiombo airstrip just minutes away.
A solid mid-range tented camp of around thirty en-suite tents on raised decks above the Talek River, centrally placed for game drives across the National Reserve. It is a dependable, good-value choice close to the Ol Kiombo airstrip.
Flying in
The nearest airstrip is Ol Kiombo, about 5 min by road from the lodge. See the real fly-in routes and how the rest of the region connects on the Getting Around map.
