South Africa - 3-day Eastern Cape Safari with Amakhala Quatermain's Camp - Private accommodated

This classic 1920’s style expedition camp is modeled on the heyday of exploration, that golden era when adventure lay around every corner. Our intimate 6 bed camp offers you the opportunity to experience “Africa under canvas”, with three 1900’s style safari tents fitted out with military campaign style furnishings; the choice of pioneers, hunters and explorers of that time. Each tent is also equipped with a wood-fired hot tub on a private deck, to the rear of the tent, affording magical star gazing opportunities.

To experience the real nature of the African bush and enjoy some of the many wildlife encounters this area has to offer we run twice daily game drives. Also on offer are guided walking safaris. Any guest at Quatermain's can swap a game drive for a walking safari at no extra charge (subject to availability, and bookable in-house). Guests staying 3 nights or more have the opportunity of taking part in an overnight trail; walking on the reserve from the afternoon, and again the next morning, and spending the night out on the reserve in an equipped cave - an experience NOT to be missed.
