A new and very private house - the Rhino suite - is located a short distance away from the main camp, making it an ideal location for a honeymoon.
A further unique feature is Kiba Point - a small camp nearby , comprising four stone-built cottages, able to be booked on a totally exclusive basis, and hence suitable for an extended family group.
The possibility of spending a couple of nights Fly Camping rounds off the Sand Rivers experience.
