Founders Camp

The intimate layout of Founders Camp makes it perfect for exclusive use by one group or an extended family. The four elegant suites and spacious public deck overlook the Mathlabas River, making the camp extremely calm, relaxed and welcoming. Tucked away in the shade of the trees, with an infinity pool, Founders Camp is the perfect refuge in the heat of the summer months. This, combined with views across the reserve towards the Waterberg massif, means that taking a rest day in camp is always an option.

There are indoor and outdoor dining areas, a sunken deck with fire pit and an interactive kitchen perfectly positioned for exclusivity.
