The main area of Mdonya is open on all sides. The roof is a large khaki canvas that creates an enormous area over a number of armchairs, cabinets and a small book shelf. It looks empty but when you are sitting in this area with elephant, buffalo, zebra, impala and the rest walking past, you really get a sense of how alive this camp is.The rooms are basic Meru-style tents and all 11 of them are well spread out creating good privacy. Each has an extended bathroom with a shower under the stars. There is no electricity in the rooms but the lanterns and candles make for an even better African atmosphere. During midday you can even enjoy some peace and quiet from a deck chair on your veranda and at night, the stars glisten above as the lack of light pollution allows for some breath-taking views.
