Fig Tree Bush Camp is situated next to a beautiful beach created by the dried sand banks of the Shishamba River. The camp overlooks a large lagoon, 1.7 km long and about 60m wide.

This lagoon maintains it’s alluring water throughout the season attracting an array of wildlife including Elephant, Puku, Impala, Warthog, Zebra, and Hartebeest. Predators like Lion, Cheetah, Leopard and Hyena are regular visitors. The Wild Dog in the area have also been frequent visitors to the area and prey on the concentration of game.

The camp is made up of a Boma and 4 raised Luxury Safari Tents. Each safari tent has an en-suite bathroom and veranda presenting a unique view from the tree canopy. Guests will then come together underneath the Fig Tree to savour the serenity of the lagoon as well as delicious food and wine.

Game drives take place twice a day. Walking safaris are also an option in the cool of the morning and allow guests to explore the surroundings and what they overlook on the drives.

After dinner guests will sit around a campfire, feet in the sand, gazing at the stars and listening to the sounds of the African Bush.

Fig Tree Bush Camp has tented accommodation on 3-meter platforms above the ground, giving a spectacular view over the lagoon and the plains towards the entrance of the camp.

We have 4 en-suite luxury safari tents on stilts (2 twin and 2 double).

Guests will stay in one of our 4 furnished safari tents. Each tent overlooks the lagoon but also has a private view of the plains behind the camp offering unique opportunities to spot game. Each safari tent has an en-suite bathroom and veranda presenting a unique view from the tree canopy.

Imagine a cozy bed set up on a raised platform, surrounded by the vast expanse of the African night sky. The bed is made with crisp, white linens and fluffy pillows that invite you to sink in and relax. The platform is decorated with twinkling fairy lights that add a touch of magic to the setting. The stars above are so bright and clear that you feel like you can reach out and touch them. The sounds of the African bush are all around you, from the rustling of leaves to the chirping of crickets. It’s a truly magical experience that you will never forget.
