FAQs
Do I need a 4×4 car?

Yes, it is advisable you bring a 4×4 to get around the area. You need to bring your own fuel, but Il Polei has a fuel station but is not always reliable.
Do you have an age limit?

All ages are welcome! Please note there is a lot of wildlife around so make sure to keep your little ones close.
Do I bring my own food and drinks?

Yes, please bring all your own food and drinks. Cooking equipment such as sharp knives, chopping board, cooking items, pots, pans, etc. are provided in our kitchen for you to use, as are eating items like cutlery and crockery. Please note, there is no chef and you are expected to keep the area clean and tidy.
Small items such as salt, pepper and some spices are available at the kitchen for you to use.
There is a fridge, a freezer, two gas tables + a charcoal oven.
You also need to bring a gas bottle and charcoal - both can be bought in Il Polei if needed.
