Time + Tide Mchenja

The camp has 5 tents, including one family tent which is made up of 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with one of the bedrooms allowing space for three children. The pool also sits very close to the family tent allowing easy access to swim during the afternoon siesta periods. All tents have outdoor bathrooms, with a sink and shower, as well as an indoor freestanding bath. The chalets are made from local grasses with a netted front, that is easily opened or closed upon request.

Much like all Time + Tide camps, Mchenja offers the furthest, most private tent for honeymooners and couples upon request. On occasion, the camp manager may set up a private dinner under the stars.

Mchenja offers a huge array of sighting opportunities, being one of the most northern camps, it is a short drive to vast open plains, where you may see wild dog hunting to lions resting after a huge meal. Its not only out on a drive that will bring you the joys of wildlife, but the camp also often sees elephants crossing the river, as well as visiting in camp. If you are more into the smaller creatures, this camp is just a stone through away from where the Carmine beaters nest in the banks of the river.

Walking safaris are popular from all Time + Tide camps and they offer walking routes between camps, allowing for guests to arrive at their new camp by foot where your bags and lunch will be awaiting your arrival.

Facilities

Most activities such as walking and drives are included in the rate at Mchenja. There is also a swimming pool and hide close to camp that can be used during siesta time.  The camp also offers an ultimate safari experience with its signature ‘sleeping under the stars,’ if you are looking for something a little more extraordinary.

Dining

Breakfast is served around the campfire on the edge of the river. Lunch is served buffet style with a selection of salads, hot dishes, and homemade bread. The afternoon tea is served on the banks of the river. Dinner is a 3-course meal served at the communal dining table.
