This unique walking experience is ideal for guests looking for an adventurous and authentic option offering the ambience of a tented bush camp of old safari lore. The camp is located on a plateau set amongst sandstone extrusions on Shamwari. A truly magical setting awaits.

The camp is discreetly fenced for safety reasons but retains true explorer ambiance. Wild animals are able to move through the camps at any time and although all safety precautions have been followed in setting up the camp; this remains a reality.

Our wilderness bush camp itinerary comprises a min 2-night trail. Operational Tuesday & Wednesday and Friday & Saturday with an optional 3rd night (Sunday) on request. The camp operates from September to May. Each tent is furnished for comfort in the wilderness.

The walking trails are hosted and guided by armed qualified walking guides. Distances walked vary but can last up to 4 hours per day. A game viewing vehicle remains in camp depending on where the trail starts or to visit another area of the reserve.

Guests will enjoy walks whereby their guide will enhance their experience with birding, cultural & natural history of the area, along with ample opportunity of some Big 5 encounters.
