The Place
An intimate camp in wood, canvas, and thatch.
Twelve rooms on wooden decking. A main area with a bar and a swimming pool. A boma around the fire. A yoga shala 500 metres into the plains. A garden. Solar-powered, with our own borehole and water treatment. Built with the intention that if it were removed tomorrow, the plains would look the same.
The Shala
A shala facing open floodplains.
Set 500 metres from the main camp, so the first walk of the day is already part of the practice. Transparent canvas rolls close it against wind or cold. Otherwise, open to the plains.
Fully equipped for up to 20 practitioners. Mats, blocks, belts, bolsters, aerial hammocks, sound bowls. All already there.
The Tented Rooms
A tent on the plains.
Six standard and four large double tented rooms, plus two reserved for visiting tour leaders. Each sits on its own wooden deck with a private veranda, a wardrobe, a fan, and a mosquito net.
Every room has an ensuite bathroom with a flushing toilet and a hot-water shower. Mains electricity and reading lights by the bed. Beds configure as king or twin. At night, the sound of the bush outside the canvas.
Inside a Tent
Take a walk through the room.
A short tour of what the inside looks like. Wooden decking, wardrobe, ensuite bathroom, the canvas that keeps the bush outside.

The Main Area
The heart of the camp.
Elevated and hidden behind palms. A bar, communal dining, a swimming pool, and couches and chairs facing the plains. Long meals under thatch. Your morning coffee at sunrise.
Everything runs off the grid. Our own borehole for water, on-site water and sewage treatment, solar for power. The camp looks after itself without leaving a mark on the plains.
The Boma & Pool
Fire outside. Water by the plains.
The boma is where the camp gathers after dark. Dinner moves here on clear nights. Fire, low benches, candles, and the sounds of the bush.
The pool sits just off the deck, facing the plains. Cool water between practice and safari.
Around the camp
Corners we like.
How it was built
Locally sourced, hand-finished.
Every structure at Munga Plains was built by local artisans in wood, canvas, and thatching grass. Nothing trucked in pre-made. Nothing placed on top of the plains.
The camp runs on solar. We treat our own water. Herbs, vegetables, and fruits come from our own garden where the season allows.
