Bundox Safari Co evolved from founder Marinus Smith’s experiences in the wild, uncharted territory north of the Zambezi delta in Mozambique where, as a young man, he built and ran a bush camp for a small safari operator. It was this wild, impenetrable wilderness that was to give his future company its name – Bundox – an appropriation of the word “boondocks”, meaning “rough, untamed country”. In Africa, we call it “bundu”. In Mozambique, they pronounce it “bundox” with no small amount of Portuguese flair!
