What you'll love

From the well-positioned decks, you might just spot a lion lounging under a Marula tree or a herd of elephants marching across the plains. The open-plan design means animals can wander right up to the edge of camp!

Insiders tip

Book the guided bush walk for sunrise – a chance to experience the Kruger with all senses heightened, where you’ll track animal prints, learn about local flora, and see the land as few ever do. Early morning is also prime time for spotting rare birds and smaller creatures, often overlooked during drives.

Something to think about

This camp welcomes children from 8 years and older, so young families may need to look elsewhere. Remember, walking safaris usually have an age limit too.

The property

With a stylish blend of comfort and wilderness, the camp’s open-plan lounge, bar, and dining area invites you to relax in luxury, with panoramic views that steal the show. Take a dip in the refreshing pool after a day on safari, and in the evening, the campfire is the prime spot for after-dinner tales under the stars. Rustic, elegant furnishings made from local materials create a grounded sense of place that feels entirely at home in the Kruger.

The camp operates with an impressive sustainability commitment, blending solar power with local community initiatives. You’ll have an eco-friendly stay without compromising on any comforts – and leave with a deeper understanding of conservation in Kruger.
