Djuma

Djuma Game Reserve, Shangaan for 'roar of the lion', is owner run and offers guests a choice of three camps. Vuyatela is an eight suite lodge with individual plunge pools, viewing decks and spacious dining and living areas. The Rustic Bush Lodge has eight thatched bedrooms with indoor and outdoor bathrooms and Galago, the serviced self catering camp, has five en suite bedrooms. Simply prepared meals use fresh game and natural ingredients. On 9,500 hectares, Djuma hosts morning, afternoon and evening safaris, bush walks, bird watching, visits to the local community and close up observation of a baboon troop.

Kings Camp

Kings camp is an exclusive, eighteen bed camp set in the famous Timbavati Game Reserve, now part of the Greater Kruger National Park. Guests stay in traditional thatched bungalows, spacious and luxuriously equipped with air-conditioning, mini bar and quality en-suite bathrooms. Camp facilities include a lounge, bar and swimming pool with a viewing deck overlooking the waterhole. Visitors can experience the abundant wildlife through game drives in open Land Rovers, by listening to night sounds while in the reed boma around a crackling log fire, as well as on "sleep-outs" and guided walks. With easy access to 100 square kilometres of traversing, game viewing is excellent in the region (elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard, rhino, general game and bird life) but King's Camp promises to be more than just a good game viewing destination.

Londolozi

Set in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve adjacent to the Kruger National Park, Londolozi offers three exclusive camps and is most famous for its leopards. Each of the three camps is completely self-contained, with its own boma, swimming pool, leisure deck, bar and lounge area overlooking the Sand River. The lodge is exquisitely appointed, with impeccable service and Pan-African dining. Accompanied by expert guides in open landrovers or on foot, guests are likely to encounter almost every major African mammal at close quarters - leopard, cheetah, lion, rhino, hippo, elephant, wildebeest, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, warthog and more.

Bordering the Kruger National Park, Londolozi Private Game Reserve boasts 35,000 acres of prime game land teeming with wildlife including Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Rhino, Buffalo, Cheetah, Hippo and Crocodile as well as birds, plants, insects and reptiles.

Londolozi's camps are small and exclusive. Your visit includes an early morning game drive with an armed game Ranger and tracker. Their in-depth knowledge and interpretive skills ensure that your experience is informative and memorable. Using open landrovers, they escort you into the wilderness in search of wildlife. You return for a sumptuous mid-morning breakfast, followed by an optional nature walk with an experienced, armed Shangaan tracker. As the sun loses its intensity, you set off again in search of Africa's big game. After "sundowners", your drive continues into the night where fascinating nocturnal creatures can be seen - and the large predators begin their hunt.

Londolozi offers three camps to choose from. Main Camp has eight double chalets with elevated private balconies and en-suiet bathrooms nestled into the riverine vegetation overlooking the beautiful Sand River. The original rustic rondavels offer charming and comfortable double rooms with en-suite shower and bathroom facilities.

The luxurious Bush Camp features eight secluded en-suite rock chalets integrated discreetly into the dense riverine habitat. All chalets are extremely private and have their own elevated balconies overlooking the perennial Sand River. Each room is large and luxurious with stunning vistas across the riverine bush and beyond. The unique en-suite bathroom and outdoor shower facility give you an uninterrupted view of hippo, elephant and other animals, which often graze peacefull below.

Tree Camp is the very best Londolozi has to offer. This exclusive camp has been described as "Without doubt, the most beautiful in Africa". The central open plan lounge offers a spectacular view from every angle as guest enjoy delicious meals served on a balcony, suspended 70 feet up in an ancient Ebony tree. Each Tree Campchalet represents understated luxury, with en-suite shower, bath and toilet facilities, included a private outdoor shower and cantilevered balcony. The rooms have been carefully designed to blend naturally into the riverine habitat, offering complete privacy. Tree Camp guests enjoy the personalized service of a hostess, game ranger, tracker and private landrover.

Makalali

Makalali has four very secluded camps, each of six private thatched rooms nestling on the shady banks of the Makhutswi River in a private game reserve. Makalali provides guests with an exceptional wilderness experience. The architecture has drawn inspiration from all corners of Africa and thatched roof segments rise through towering jackalberry trees. Natural textures combined with African sculptures create an effect that is rustic yet opulent and quite unique. Each room has its own fireplace, en suite bathroom, elevated viewing deck and private lapa (lookout). Superb African cuisine is served on a shady deck overlooking the river and at night guests enjoy a fireside boma dinner under the stars.

Singita

Located in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve on the western border of the Kruger National Park, Singita houses eight exquisitely appointed double suites, set in shady woodland above the Sand River. Each expansive suite ensures absolute privacy with its own en-suite bathroom and outside shower, double-sided fireplace, air-conditioning, private leisure deck and living area with views across the river to the plains beyond. In December 1996, the camp opened a new six-suite river camp which delicately integrates simple contemporary furnishings in bleached timber, bold geometric patterns and zebra hide with darkwood antiques and African fine art. Guests can view wildlife on early morning and afternoon game drives, and evening drives with spotlights in open landrovers led by experienced guides.

Kirkman's

Located on one of the most elevated sites overlooking the Sand River, Kirkman’s Camp has spectacular views of the unspoiled wilderness as far as the eye can see. Part of the Mala Mala Game Reserve, the largest block of privately owned big game land in South Africa on which guests can see over two hundred different species including lion, elephant, cheetah, hippo, rhino, giraffe, buffalo and a great variety of small animals and a wealth of birdlife.

Honeyguide operates eco-safaris in a vast private concession area which may be explored in open game-viewing vehicles or on foot under the guidance of armed and experienced rangers.

Tanda Tula

Located in the Timbavati in the Eastern Transvaal, Tanda Tula Bush Camp brings guests closer to the bush than almost any other lodge. The camp’s eight tents each have an en-suite bathroom, oscillating fan, electric lights and a wood deck overlooking the dry bed of the Nhlaralumi River. A large, open-sided thatched shelter acts as the main lodge, where breakfast and lunch are served and guests can also relax at the bar and the swimming pool. Of particular note are Tanda Tula’s bush braais, held in the dry bed of the Nhlaralumi River with the moon reflecting off the bright sand. Game drives from open vehicles give visitors the opportunity to see wildlife of the Eastern Transvaal, particularly elephant, lion and wild dog.

Harry’s — the camp with a difference, offers you a return to the wilds. Situated in the southern division of the vast Mala Mala Game Reserve, which boasts the largest privately owned tract of "Big Five" country in southern Africa.

Occupying an ideal site on the banks of the perennial Sand River, Harry’s Camp is clustered amidst mature, indigenous trees and emerald green lawns that sweep down to the river’s edge. Accommodation consists of seven en-suite doubles, two of which have interlocking children’s rooms. All rooms are air-conditioned and insect proofed.

Garonga

Garonga is an exclusive fourteen-bed, en-suite safari camp situated west of Kruger National Park, in South Africa's northern province. The reserve forms part of the Makalali wildlife conservancy and offers an in-depth experience for bush-lovers seeking more than the classic "Big Five" encounter. Whilst offering viewing of big game such as lion, elephant and rhino, Garonga promises a more intimate wildlife encounter through walking, tracking and sleep-out excursions. Garonga’s holistic philosophy is to offer a safari for the soul, an unhurried and intimate wildlife encounter — a time to reflect and find inspiration in nature. Game drives, wilderness walks, outdoor bush baths, sleep-outs, aromatherapy and reflexology sessions are available, but many choose to lie in their hammocks watching the grazing game in the river bed below.

Khoka Moya

Situated in the 23,000-hectare Manyeleti Game Reserve, close to the Orpen gate of the Kruger National Park, Khoka Moya Safari Lodge nestles in pristine bush. Accommodating up to sixteen guests, the Lodge is comprised of eight raised twin-bed wooden chalets with en-suite shower, toilet and wash basin. The atmosphere is relaxed and congenial, especially in the evenings when guests gather around the log fire on the open terrace or relax in the soft glow of lanterns in the thatched bar and lounge area. Activities for the outdoor enthusiast are numerous, including early morning, afternoon and evening game drives, game walks, birdwatching and game-viewing from a well-camouflaged hide at the waterhole.
