The accommodation consists of 4 thatched rondavels made entirely of local material - reed, thatch and wood. These rondavels are taken down and rebuilt every year. The chalets are rustic but very comfortable and offer a really authentic bush experience - large spacious beds, with mosquito netting and colourful covers, an abundance of storage space and all facilities en-suite (shower, toilet and washbasin). The bathroom is open to the stars and you need to order the hot water for the shower in advance thus epitomizing what a safari is all about.

The main dining area, sitting room and bar are in a small open fronted thatched structure in the center of the small camp, and this is the nucleus of all activities.

As Kuyenda, like all the camps, is inside the National Park itself, big game action happens on your doorstep. It is a wonderful walking area and activities are tailored to the clients' needs.
Game activities include walking safaris and combination walking and driving.

A series of seven ox-bow lagoons around Chamilandu yield diverse habitats and attracts abundant wildlife. Specializing in guided walking safaris, The Bushcamp Company prides itself on top class guides and offers guests the chance to explore the area around camp on foot.

Catering for all safari tastes, the camp offers both morning and evening walks and combinations of day and night game drives.
