THE BUSH CAMP
The bush camp is nestled in the wild African bushveld, adjacent to the plains of the Camdeboo, beside a small stream that only runs during the rains. The site is hidden in and among the many tall Acacia Karoo trees that are customary in the riverine bush, with abundant red buffalo grass, creating a blanket along the rivers banks. The bush camp is truly “in the bush” it’s a place to relax in beautiful and tranquil surroundings. Here only the chorus of birds at day break and the lonesome bark of a kudu bull being disturbed, break the silence of the African bush.
The bush camp is open all year round and is in a Bilharzia and Malaria free area. It uses clear spring water of a mineral quality. The camp is serviced daily and offers self catering or fully catered facilities by prior arrangement. This is an ideal getaway for a group of family or friends, or simply that quiet weekend on your own.
