VIEWS. They’re something that turn an ordinary safari experience into something extraordinary, especially when they involve the unique combination of permanently flowing water slicing through a pristine African wilderness. At Bundox River Lodge, the views over the omnipresent Olifants River create pure safari magic… This is unplugged Africa at its best!

Explore

Bundox River Lodge has everything in abundance and more. Perched on a gentle bend in the perennial Olifants River in the far north of the Balule Game Reserve, this brand-new tented camp has breathtaking upstream and downstream views from its raised position on the southern riverbank.

Accommodation

Imagine 5000ha of exclusive wilderness with eight kilometres of the beautiful Olifants River yours to explore at leisure, and at its heart an intimate safari camp with just five beautiful safari tents set next to the gently flowing waters. We’ve taken the dreams we’ve all had of the ultimate safari and made them a reality at Bundox River Lodge, combining the best of our brand into a new benchmark of authentic safari excellence.

Each tent is an experience in its own right, with the ability to remove all barriers to the wilderness beyond, leaving only an imperceptible insect-proof mesh between you and wild Africa on the river-facing side.

Simple, elegant, natural luxury is the order of the day, with lots of space and light, kingsize beds, beautiful en-suite bathrooms with outdoor showers, flushing toilets and hot and cold running water, spacious decks overlooking the river and standing fans for maximum ventilation.

The style is Bundox’s trademark blend of natural, organic wood, classic canvas and clean, efficient, modern design, with impeccable taste, quality fixtures and fittings, luxurious linen, textiles and soft furnishings. The result is flawless tented chic and absolute safari perfection.
