September 2005 - Chiefs Camp upgrade 2005/2006
 A decision to completely rebuild the accommodation units at Chief's Camp has been made as we enter the seventh year of operation. The refurbishment of these units have been designed in line with the recent refurbishment in June 2005 of the main area of the camp.
The internal area of the unit will increase from 39 to 50 square metres and will incorporate a spacious seating area while all tentage will be replaced with a new double skin insulated tentage. New carpets, bed throws and linen will be integrated into the units which will also include a gas heater, overhead fans, a generous mosquito net, two wardrobes, a mini bar, a book shelf as well as a comfortable writing desk. Three units will boast king size beds while nine units will boast twin beds. Lighting, electrical points as well as power generators and electrical systems will also be upgraded to meet the demands of our new upgrade to the camp.
The canvas tented roof will be replaced with a thatched roof while the front section of the unit leading to the deck will boast a large gauze segment with roll down blinds. New outdoor decks will be incorporated into the front of each unit and will include lovely hammocks and deck chairs. A revitalising outdoor shower, accessed through the raised timber bathroom, will be incorporated into the structure with the bathroom interiors receiving a fresh coat of paint and new canvas for the exterior. A new sewerage system including a recycle plant will be installed, which will allow water to be utilised for gardening purposes once recycled.
All work will commence on site from 01 November 2005, with the first set of 3 rooms scheduled to be complete by December 2005 while the remaining 9 units should be completed by June 2006. Since there is extensive work to be done, the construction team will endeavour to minimise disturbances to our valued guests. Our reservations team will contact all parties affected by the upgrade. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
