Accommodation at Sette Cama is in the form of rustic chalets, each with twin configuration and its own en-suite bathroom.
Despite the remote location, guests can still enjoy modern amenities such as air conditioning in every room.
Due to the limited number of guests for these helicopter fly-in trips, each guest will enjoy a private room, ensuring complete privacy and comfort during their stay.
It’s worth noting that this is not a luxury five-star lodge, but rather a comfortable and functional base from which to explore the natural wonders of Loango National Park. Meals are enjoyed in the main living area, which includes a stocked bar and a deck overlooking the estuary.
