There are 12 safari tents available for rent. The tents are covered with a fly-sheet to protect from the rain and a knitted shade net for sun protection. This double protection ensures that the accommodations remain cool and dry no matter how hot and humid the weather gets. Each tent sleeps up to 2 adults and 3 children, and has a private bathroom and toilet. All of the tents are mounted onto wooden decks approx. 5 - 10 feet above the ground. The bathrooms are constructed out of recovered wood from antique creole houses. Bath sinks are carved from a single piece of wood and they sit on old wooden doors. Bed mattresses are put on transportation palettes and potato boxes are used for storage.The retreat takes pride in keeping its carbon footprint as low as possible. The retreat produces its own energy through photovoltaic panels and solar water heaters. At the site waste is recycled and rainwater is harvested. For construction, only wood and recycled materials are used.The pool-side restaurant offers incomparable views of the river and serves delicious Mauritian gourmet dishes. For breakfast, complimentary continental morning meals only source fresh local products, including freshly brewed espresso coffee, homemade yogurt and 100% natural fruit juices.
