Endangered Species Project Accommodation

The Siyafunda tented Endangered Species Camp consists of four double, comfortable and spacious walk-in tents with twin beds. They are all built on wooden decks in the heart of the bush where you enjoy a beautiful view. Each tent has its own ablution facility with flushing toilet and a bush shower. To heat your shower you will find large kettles to heat over the fire, making even a shower an adventure on its own.

The communal area next to the fireplace is made up of wooden decks, one which has the kitchen.  The other has a tented roof where you can sit to enjoy your meal in a open air dining area, playing cards or just reading your book while you are listen to the African wild life. 

 

 

There is no electricity at the camp, but plenty of paraffin lamps are used for all lighting in and around the camp and it gives a true African romantic feeling in the bush. Sometimes the paraffin lanterns can be challenging while you are reading your bedtime story, so a headlamp and torch is recommended for this purpose.

 

The kitchen offers cooking facilities for volunteers to prepare their breakfast, lunch and dinner. The gas fridge is always filled up with fresh veggies and fruit, cheese and a variety of meat. Volunteers help themselves with tea, coffee, cereal and toast in the morning. For a late brunch you can do sandwiches or salads or have a tasty fry up.  In the evening, after game drive, the volunteers cook a delicious meal together or just braai (South African BBQ) over the fire.
