5. Our home at Mac's Treehouse Camp

This was our home for the four nights we spent. The Tree houses come in double & single rooms. They double rooms have a bathroom ensuite, but with the single rooms you have to use a seperate shared bathroom stall (this can be terrifying at night, walking from your tree house to the shower stall in the dark jungle for a bath). Both baths have a shower and morden WC.

The showers have what is called in bush parlance a "Donkey" at the back of the doubles or shower stalls for hot water. Every evening one of the camp hands will light a wood burning fire under a drum of water. As the water boils it is channeled by a series of pipes into the shower mains. This means you only get hot water in the evenings, fortunately if the weather is right you may get warm water in the morning. Don't ask if I had regular morning showers, after all its a jungle out there.
