Legendary private guide Graham Cooke leads all our Adventure Safari packages. With Graham’s guidance, you’ll start to recognise the signs of wildlife in the bush. You’ll feel the warmth of the sun on your skin, and the air flowing through your hair and the smell of the dust from the savannah will soon become the smell of home. We have over 75 years of collective experience organising and leading Adventure Safaris in Africa. We build and deliver bespoke packages for you focussed on exclusivity, privacy and your wildlife interests.
After a day of bushwalking, self-driving or Big Game viewing, you can return to your private bush camp to relax around the campfire to reminisce about the day’s adventures and the animals encountered.
Below are some examples of bush camps we have hand-selected for guests to experience when on safari with us:
Tsakane
Comfortable and spiritually luxurious, Tsakane is a private bush camp we operate in Balule National Park, South Africa. You’ll feel at one with nature as the bush is right outside your door at this unfenced camp.
Bundox
At Bundox Explorer Camp, privacy comes in the form of uncomplicated and effortless surroundings that make you feel part of Africa. Four double tents take their inspiration from a bygone era when less was definitely more.
Abelana
An intimate safari camp with a spectacular viewing deck overlooking a watering hole. The Meru-style tents are simple yet comfortable and guests can relax and connect in the tented lounge and dining area.
northampton
Northampton Camp on the Klaserie Game Reserve is our best-kept secret. The owners of this private bush camp do not advertise and we are lucky to take guests to this private camp set in 5,000 hectares of the South African bush. It’s 1960s safari style – beautiful and authentic with a personal touch.
4 x 4 self drive
Drive into the unknown. Where rough, winding roads, tent boxes, starry skies and dealing with the unexpected lead to unforgettable experiences. If you’re looking for a truly authentic African safari, on request, we can design and arrange guided, self-drive 4 x 4 safaris in South Africa and Botswana.
Nkuwa
Nkuwa Wilderness Camp is nestled in the Selati Game Reserve. This private tented camp offers a unique sanctuary beneath the majestic canopy of a Sycamore Fig Tree. A personal and undisturbed experience,
Other examples of Private Bush Camps we stay at include Pungwe (also available on a private basis) and Buffelshoek/Ndzakha.
"Expectations exceeded"
“Tsakane is the most amazing camp with great hospitality in a stunning reserve. They carry an emphasis on conserving nature and respecting all of Africa’s wildlife from trees to termites to the big 5. This allowed us to view and experience nature in its own beauty. The accommodation was clean and private and the Tsakane team were very professional. The guides were knowledgeable and the chefs paid special attention to every dietary requirement, the entire staff went out of their way to fulfill our wishes and get to know us on a personal scale. Overall an amazing experience and a great gateway into what Africa has to offer!”
