This classy retreat occupies a watery site in a maze of grass- and palm-covered islands on the Xudum River. It was overhauled in 2016 and is an excellent base for wildlife viewing by mokoro around Chief's Island, or fishing in the surrounding waterways. The birding, too, is outstanding. Accommodation is in eight well-furnished linen tents shaded by towering riverine forest.
