A stay at Mbizane is time spent inside the heart of nature, on the bank of a pristine cold mountain stream in virgin riverine forest, dwarfed by the vertical cliffs above. Enjoy all-round magnificent views of the surrounding cliffs, hear the variety of bird calls echoing off the cliffs above the cobbling of the stream, and marvel at the beauty of the nature surrounding you from the privacy and comfort of your forested luxury tent deck.

This intimate camp’s en-suite accommodation is in six, canvas-and-thatch raised tents (including one family unit), all with sensational front-row views of the channel. From the camp’s expansive thatched main lounge, dining and bar areas, elevated wooden decks extend out over the channel bed. A small pool for refreshment, and fire deck for evening stories – being largely open to the bush – all ensure remarkable wildlife sightings. When the waters are low, a log-pile hide in front of camp provides a perfect setting to watch wildlife at the water's edge.
