Welcome to Kariminu River Camp
for nature lovers, birdwatchers, bird photographers & safari enthusiasts!

A dedicated bird hide awaits photographers, and the riverine forest is home to remarkable night wildlife: Rusty-spotted Genet, rarely Two-spotted Palm Civet, and even the Southern Giant Pouched Rat, famous for sniffing out landmines in Vietnam.
