Within the camp, in the tall trees near the river, I saw a couple of Paradise Flycatcher nesting. Here is the male :

What is your opinion of the camp, Dingwe?

I like it,as I like generally the bushveld camps more than the main restcamps as they are more quiet, more remote and wilder. But I prefer Shimuvini or even Talamati (I have never been to Biyamiti yet, always fully booked). When I was there, I did not see much animal activity in the river from the camp.

Contrary to what is mentionned on Sanparks website ("No electricity (plug points) available for appliances in units"), there are plugs in the units, much better than in the restcamps, as you can put a european plug and a USB plug. Maybe the cottages have been fully restored recently. They should put this kind of plugs in all units in all camps.
