Fothergill Island Accommodation

Fothergill Island comprises two separate but linked camps, consisting of 10 spacious and luxurious tented suites that are unique and contemporary in design. Each of the suites has been furnished using natural hues and materials that complement the charismatic scenery, with subtle decor that includes light touches of bright African colour, embodying our land’s rich cultural heritage.

Guest accommodations are surrounded by exceptional wilderness and appealing pastel colour tones of soft yellows, olive greens, lily pinks, and turquoise blues. The public areas and picturesque walkways offer Wi-Fi connectivity with plenty of room for guests to pursue work activities at their leisure. The camps and pathways are cordoned off, granting guests complete peace of mind during their island stay.

In addition to the island’s accommodations and camp, we also provide for ad hoc seating and lounging arrangements. Lake-side refreshments and cocktails on recliners in the bush are made possible by our swift and attentive staff.

Lake & Bush Suites

The lake and bush suites accommodation comprises of five spacious and breezy double or twin suites and two 2-bedroom family suites, each placed upon a raised dais. These are some of the largest in the area, each placed exquisitely on 115 sqm (1 200 square feet) of decking. These suites can be configured to become either double or twin rooms, as well as with luxurious en-suite bathrooms, some of which include an outside shower or a large bathtub where guests can relax, soak, and enjoy the spectacular view and melodic sounds of the bush.

Features

The suites feature a writing desk, private lounge, generous mini bar, and a tea and coffee station. All have a tranquil outside seating area that includes a private plunge pool and a day bed, from where guests can watch the passing parade of wildlife, take in the African skies, or simply observe…time.

There are two family suites that are equally spacious on approximately 160 sqm (1 700 square feet) of decking. In addition to all of the aforementioned features, these suites include a second bedroom with matching en-suite facilities and a spacious central reception area within which the refreshment stations are situated.
