A classic, authentic Big Five safari awaits
If there’s one thing that defines the DNA of Bundox Explorer Camp it’s the ethos of taking the bells and whistles of the modern, luxury safari experience and paring it down to a simpler, more authentic homage to the days when exploring the African wilderness was a pioneering adventure and not about opulent accommodation…

About Bundox Explorer Camp
In creating Bundox Explorer Camp on a private concession of the Olifants West section of the Greater Kruger National Park, we addressed the questions of what makes a great safari great and what you really need when staying in the bush.
The answers speak for themselves… You need somewhere comfortable to sleep and tend to the daily functions of existence, good food, a place to relax and unwind, a method of cooling off in the summer heat, awesome views and excellent game viewing in a wilderness environment, and, finally, an amazing team of people to make you feel at home.
Camp Highlights
Safari Living
Set within the Olifants West Nature Reserve, Bundox Explorer Camp captures the spirit of classic safaris with comfort, simplicity, and raw wilderness immersion.
Intimate & Personal
A small, dedicated team delivers warm, personalized hospitality, from sunrise coffee to fireside storytelling.
Canvas Tented Camp
Four off-grid tents offer relaxed luxury with en-suite bathrooms, solar power, and private decks overlooking the bush.
Eco-Friendly by Design
Fully powered by solar energy, the camp runs sustainably and blends seamlessly into its natural surroundings.
Accommodation
Simplicity under canvas
There are no hard and fast rules that define luxury when it comes to safari experiences. For us luxury comes in the form of uncomplicated, effortless surroundings that make you feel part of wild Africa rather than separated from it. Bundox Explorer Camp is a lesson in simplicity and its four double tents take their inspiration from a bygone era when less was definitely more.
Each has twin beds with sprung bases and comfortable divan-style mattresses, dressed in cool cotton sheets and lightweight duvets. Additional blankets are kept in a wooden kist for the cooler months and crisp winter nights. The camp is off-grid with a solar system that provides power in each tent, enabling you to recharge your devices and camera batteries as needed. A fan provides the perfect cooling breeze whenever you need it.
The en-suite bathrooms include a flushing toilet, single vanity unit with a basin and a shower with running cold water. Hot water is available on demand and is run through a bucket shower system that’s both effective and wonderfully sustainable.
Mosquito flaps allow the tents to remain secure but airy, providing good ventilation in the warmer months. There is insect repellant and bug spray in each room, as well as packing and hanging space for clothing. Outside there is a small deck with comfortable chairs and views of the camp.
The result is the perfect combination of comfort, practical, clean design and functionality that’s also easy on the eye. What more could you wish for?
Experiences
Touching the wilderness at every turn
Staying at Bundox Explorer Camp is as much an adventure as exploring the wonderful wilderness of the Olifants West region of the Greater Kruger National Park. Blending perfectly into its location on the top of a hill overlooking the breathtaking South African Lowveld and distant Northern Drakensberg Escarpment, the accent is on immersing you in an African adventure and releasing you from the stress of everyday life.
With a small team of enthusiastic staff dedicated to helping create exceptional safari experiences, every effort is made to produce safari perfection, from the wonderful home-cooked meals prepared in the open kitchen and dining room to the help-yourself honesty bar in the lounge area of the raised viewing deck.
It’s small, intimate and absolutely fabulous, and upholds the adage that great things come in small packages!
