An underground hide at the edge of Kings Camp's waterhole in the Timbavati, reached by a tunnel a short walk from the main lounge. It seats up to ten behind fully opening windows of imported one-way photographic glass, with charging points, a refreshment station and two cameras streaming to screens that warn of approaching animals. Busiest in the dry months, July to October.
