The reception office has 240-volt power and guests can charge batteries there. There is a communal freezer next to the camp entrance.

Re: Sirheni Bushveld Camp
From the fence:
It is a lovely camp, but beware the heat, as there aren't aircons, and a dodgy power supply!
What to look for:
Nyala Tree ( Xanthocercis zambesiaca )
Elephant
Verreaux's Eagle Owl
