River Cabins

Wake up to the River Nile and the sound of hippos and birdlife right on your doorstep.

Positioned close to the water, our en-suite River Cabins are simple, yet stylish spaces. The double cabin accommodation is perfect for a couple, friends travelling together or a family with older children (12 years+) as one cabin has a permanent double bed while the 2nd cabin has the option of two singles, or a double bed. With thoughtful details and plenty of natural light, including a private veranda running the length of both cabins, there's a hammock, outside seating and a spectacular view awaiting you!
