The five sleeping platforms are raised off the ground to ensure that guests are safe and comfortable, while having the unparalleled experience of falling asleep to the night sounds of the wilderness under a starry sky. Comfortable beds and ‘bed-rolls’ are your bed for the night, each contain a 100% cotton linen sheet, down duvets and pillow for your comfort.
Each sleeping platform is equipped with a flush toilet and basin attached to the platform.
The sleeping platforms have a shaded area for that well-deserved afternoon siesta but the shade folds away at night so that you can fall asleep to the beauty of the open skies (weather permitting). There are communal open-air bathrooms including the typical much loved Etendeka Bucket Shower situated between the platforms.

The Etendeka Hiking Trails Experience is offered with the following included:
• Breakfast, packed snacks, light lunch, dinner, afternoon tea and coffee & all local drinks
• Use of day pack, water bottle & walking stick
• “Back-to-basics” hiking experience with knowledgeable guide
• Sleeping under the stars on raised platforms in canvas bed-rolls and 100% cotton linen and down duvets
• Luggage transportation between overnight camps
• Scenic transfer back to pick-up point
