Overview
About Splash Camp
Splash Camp faces a permanent pan in the Kwara Private Concession, with ten contemporary suites and two family rooms spread around the water. Private decks, indoor and outdoor showers, a shared pool and an open-sided dining area give you space between outings. Game drives and night drives explore the concession, while boats and mokoros run throughout the year. Children aged six and over are welcome, with private activities required for families travelling with children under twelve. Splash Enclave is a separate private area within the camp for groups wanting their own shared spaces.
“A strong choice for families and safari travellers who want both water-based outings and day and night drives, with private decks for quiet time and Splash Enclave for a more private group stay.”
