El Karama Eco-Lodge is based on a private 14,000 acre ranch where conservation is a primary concern. We offer an intimate wilderness experience for the wildlife connoisseur. El Karama bandas offer accommodation for up to 20 people.  The choice of accommodation ranges from stone/canvas ‘bandas’ and slightly larger cottages for couples with children or small groups.  The bandas are situated at a safe distance from the rivers edge and look across to a salt lick where wildlife often congregate in the early morning and evening.  Each banda has its own veranda for reading and star gazing.  All guests are provided with storm lanterns to compliment the fixed eco-friendly LED lighting. There is a catered and self-catered option available to guests. The larger family sized cottage sleeps from up to six people comfortably and will in 2009 include a simple kitchen area for self catering.  There is a master bedroom and living room, 2 mezzanine bedrooms and a very spacious bathroom with flushing toilet and a beautiful view of the river. The stone cottage sleeps up to four people and is ideal for small groups sharing or couples with small children.  This cottage also has it’s own bath and shower room along side with a view of the river flowing past. The dining building, open along one side with a peaceful view across the river, is breezy during the day and cosy at night with a massive open fireplace and big sofas. The roof is high , showing off beautiful giant bamboo and thatch and catching the dreamy sound of the river running by. Our friendly chefs prepare delicious dishes from the freshest local ingredients many of which are grown on the ranch itself. There is a catered and self-catered option available to guests.   Game walking, game driving and night drives are all possible on El Karama, you may explore the area as you choose, on foot, by car or even by camel or horseback if you prefer. The ranch is home to over 75 species of mammal (including several endandgered species like Grevy's zebra, Cape hunting dog and Lelwels hartebeeste) and 370 species of birds. Black Rhino can be viewed on neighbouring sanctuaries while the rest of the big five abound on El Karama. A self catering option is available.
