“Byron was a great guide; patient with all our questions and requests to stay at sightings a little longer. Another thing I love about Flatdogs is their Croc’s Nest [accommodation] and the private guiding and dining that comes with it, not to mention a private pool! “

Beautiful setting, high-quality accommodation, and outstanding service. Attention to detail in every possible respect. This is what you get at Flatdogs Camp. Safari tents are beautifully appointed along the river with the more expensive options getting better and better. All rooms have private bathrooms and small seating areas. The safari guides at Flatdogs are trained to the highest grade and provide a 5-star game viewing experience.
Flatdogs Camp are extremely conscious of the impact their operation has on the environment. They have taken many measures to reducing their carbon footprint including solar water heating. Now, all the safari tents hot water is generated by solar energy additionally all staff food is cooked in a ‘Save 80’ stove which uses 80% less firewood than the traditional method. Flatdogs also use sustainable building products and plant trees to preserve the local environment.
Food is a big part of the safari experience – you eat a lot! Flatdogs have tremendous chefs who make, almost, everything from scratch; bread, nachos, “fiery” chilli sauce and pawpaw chutney. Flatdogs Camp prides themselves on using as much locally grown and raised products as possible. They have their own veggie garden where tomatoes, broccoli, lettuce, rocket, sorrel, pak choi, spinach and chilli are grown. Therefore, if you’re a vegetarian, or have any other dietary requirements, Flatdogs can provide a variety of tasty meals for you.
