Fredberg Rainforest Camp offers a simple stay deep in the rainforest of Suriname. With simple facilities and walking trails nearby, the focus is on wildlife, nature and the surrounding forest.

Fredberg Rainforest Camp sits beside the Little Saramacca River, offering simple yet practical accommodation with ten rooms, each with two single beds and a private bathroom (though there’s no hot water or air-conditioning). Facilities are limited, so the camp is best suited to travellers who are happy with straightforward accommodation in a natural setting. Meals at camp are simple but filling, often served buffet-style, allowing guests to refuel between time spent exploring.

The surrounding forest is the main attraction. A network of trails around the camp provides opportunities to look for birds and other wildlife, offering chances to encounter species such as zigzag heron, white-chested puffbird, yellow-billed jacamar, antpittas and ant thrushes during the day, and frogs, reptiles and snakes after dark.

Fredberg is not about luxury or extensive facilities — its appeal lies in its remote rainforest setting, and the opportunity to spend time surrounded by nature and wildlife.
