Explorers Camp

 

The cosy Explorers Camp overlooks a busy waterhole with the spectacular Waterberg massif as a backdrop. Afternoons and evenings are alive with activity as the local elephant bulls congregate for a ‘pint’ in front of the camp. Large trees offer respite from the hot sun and hammocks, cushions and couches provide many comfortable areas from which to watch the spectacle.

There is a comfortable lounge and indoor dining area, an outdoor fire pit and abundant outdoor dining. There are five comfortable canvas tents and one family tent, each with en-suite bathroom and a comfortable deck.
