Flamingo Hill strikes a balance between accessible and wild, and offers a good deal. There's a smart wooden communal area, 30 comfortable tents (which are a little dark), a spa and pool. The camp is just a short drive from the main gate, so you'll need to drive deeper into the park for the best wildlife viewing.
