The main focus of Sioma Camp is
relaxation, enjoying the natural scenery and the wildlife in a stress-free
manner. In this vein it is envisaged to supplement the more active game driving
and walking by construction of a number of viewing platforms in the vicinity of
the bushcamp close to some of the waterholes in the area. This will enable
observing birds and other wildlife from a comfortable chair – or even a hammock
- while enjoying a cup of coffee or tea and some snacks.
