HOME OF THE CLASSIC, AUTHENTIC BIG FIVE SAFARI A small, simple, naturally luxurious and authentic safari camp that pays homage to the days when exploring the African wilderness was a pioneering adventure.
In creating Bundox Explorer Camp on a private concession of the Olifants West section of the Greater Kruger’s, 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.

Bundox Explorer Camp
The boma is a truly South African experience, where the focus is on laughter, listening to the sounds of the wild, and watching the fire crackle into the night.
The camp is in an intimate setting and has only a couple of staff members who run the show, from guiding to cooking and maintenance. The layout is intended to suit small groups, couples, exclusive use or solo travellers who would enjoy a personal experience in close comfort with nature.
