The legal complexities of the liquidation of the lodge and compliance concerns made it impossible for Faircity Hotels to manage and improve the lodge according to international best practices.  Faircity Hotels was appointed during 2011 to manage Nkambeni Tented Camp, a 146 room tented lodge.

The lodge will now be managed by the IDC and the liquidators and we wish them all the best in its endeavours to do so.
