It is our privilege to be the custodians of the biodiversity of this wildlife conservancy.   What we have is rare and valuable in that the wilderness areas of the world suffer much pressure and are shrinking daily. We have been afforded the opportunity to leave a legacy of conservation for future generations and we intend to enlighten and inspire our guests with our passion.

Our vision is to invest in the conservation of our natural heritage, by developing a sustainable hospitality business within the wildlife environment, delivering world class hospitality to the tourism industry.

The conservation of wildlife is achieved through the partnership between sustainable wildlife management, empowering local communities and the practice of ethical tourism. It is our endeavor to develop and deliver this partnership with excellence.

THE DULINI FAMILY

The Dulini Collection is a proudly family run partnership of the Davis and Garratt Clans.

In October 2012, the Garratt and Davis families were privileged to realize a longstanding dream in the acquisition of Dulini.

Their friendship was forged in the early 1990’s when Mick and Barbara Davis were first hosted as guests by Iain and Sue Garratt at the original Dulini Bush Camp. Their friendship is inspired by a love of the wilderness, a passion for excellence and the desire to make a significant contribution to conservation and the lives of those who journey with them.

THE DULINI EXPERIENCE

The Dulini Collection presents the signature safari experience in the company of expert guides and in the comfort of exclusive six-seater game viewers. Exhilarating encounters with wildlife and sincere hospitality are what make Dulini an unforgettably enriching experience.

We could never deliver the authentic experience that wins the hearts of every guest, without our team of phenomenal staff. The Dulini Family is our most valued asset as it is what sets us apart and creates the spirit of the Dulini Experience.

Every Dulini member of staff aims to create a warm and sincere bond with every guest.

In so doing, we invite all guests to feel a part of our family. We take delight in these personal connections and love the fact that our guests are often sad to be leaving!

Exquisite architecture and décor enhance the memorable safari experience. Add elements like handmade nougat in the rooms, personalised hand- written welcome and farewell notes, unparalleled game-viewing, and exquisite meals presented with flair by Dulini’s chef extraordinaire and you know for sure: The safari may be at the epicentre of Dulini offering, but care and the touch of personal relationship are at its heart.

Countless visitors to the Kruger National Park frequent the Seolo Plains Camp, featuring a cluster of stylish en-suite tents nestled in the shade of towering Knobthorn trees. Plains Camp is one of only a handful of Kruger Park accommodation venues that offers an authentic African wilderness experience like no other – the famous Rhino Walking Safaris! Take to the surrounding bushveld on foot, accompanied by armed Plains Camp safari guides, and witness wild African fauna and flora up close and in their natural habitats. If you’re into eco-tourism and would prefer not to safari in a vehicle, add Plains Camp to your list of Kruger Park safari camps to visit

Kruger Safari Lodge is a tented lodge bordering the Manyeleti Game Reserve with open boundaries to the Kruger National Park and Sabi-Sand Private Game Reserve.

Our unique location places us in the perfect position to offer our visitors an unprecedented safari experience.

Enjoy morning and afternoon open vehicle safaris and guided bushwalks in Manyeleti Game Reserve or opt for full day game drives in the Kruger National Park.

Flanking a large dam in the southern Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, Simbavati Waterside was conceptualised, designed and built to be a natural extension of the pure utopian Klaserie wilderness from which it draws its inspiration.

Water is the source of life. Throughout the year countless animal species – including predators, elephants, hippo and buffalo – are drawn to the dam to cool off and quench thirst (sometimes in herds numbering hundreds). Here the game viewing never stops, and you literally become part of your own private Africa for an utterly immersive and sensory safari experience.

Simbavati Waterside is the perfect environment for every type of traveller. The carefully considered lodge structure affords absolute privacy for couples, as well as sociable spaces for families and friends.

Those in search of romance will enjoy the lodge’s many intimate spaces, imaginative private dining settings (no two meals are ever quite the same), and surprise treats to celebrate honeymoons and anniversaries. Or perhaps just the simple pleasure of disconnecting from life to reconnect with each other.

Facilities include a swimming pool, ‘Beach Boma’ (at eye level with the dam’s water), ‘Bush Boma’ (for dinner under the stars), wine cellar, lounge, bar, spa, gym, and safari boutique.

Simbavati Waterside’s sophisticated décor, sublime cuisine, and intuitive hospitality enhance an already-perfect safari.

KwaMbili Game Lodge provides an authentic safari experience at an affordable price. KwaMbili is situated in the Thornybush Game Reserve near Hoedspruit, within the Greater Kruger area. The reserve is home to the Big Five as well as an abundance of other game and bird species. This means good sightings – as you will see from our Guest Reviews. KwaMbili means “Place of Two”.

Our knowledgeable rangers will introduce you to the tracks, movements, sights and sounds which give you a window into the secrets of the African bush. We offer game drives with trained ranger and tracker in open 4×4 vehicles.

A shaded camp hide allows safe observation of animals drinking at the nearby waterhole, or at the dam further away. The secluded swimming pool provides a relaxing spot for cooling off on warm days. Décor throughout the lodge is inspired by the film Out of Africa, based on Karen Blixen’s autobiography, starring Robert Redford and Meryl Streep.

As one of the original game lodges in South Africa, Notten’s Bush Camp offers a truly authentic African safari experience. It is a destination that captures the true meaning of being in the bush.

Splendid panoramic views, Notten’s is the perfect place for peace and relaxation while watching wildlife meander past.

Safaris are led by experienced and professional rangers in open-top Landcruisers, offering an adventurous discovery of the region’s prolific wildlife, including Big 5 game viewing. Unique walking safaris are offered daily giving guests the opportunity of discovering the smaller treasures of the area. This can be followed by lazy hours spent in the pool or having a massage at the Nature Spa. Under the cloak of nightfall one can enjoy the sounds of the African night, while dining in the candlelit boma beneath a canopy of stars.

Nestled in the heart of “Big Five Country” on the western boundary of the Kruger National Park, close to the Numbi Gate, lies the Nkambeni Tented Safari Camp.

The lodge recently reopened after an extensive renovation, introducing a new sense of brightness and space. Wooden walkways lead off to a spa, gym and pool, and back to the main lodge, where the deck’s connected water features give the impression of floating on the river. Whether you enjoy your time together socially or quietly, the running theme here is simple and natural luxury living.

The lodge’s eight Luxury Rooms, six Superior Luxury Rooms and four River Suites are spaced along a path to reveal splendid river views, and make for a very personal safari stay. This is where couples, families and friends come together to reconnect with one another and Mother Nature.

Reminiscent of an Out of Africa experience, a stay at Hamiltons Tented Camp is one that will remain etched in memory, much like the contribution the lodge’s namesake, James Stevenson-Hamilton, made to the national park the camp now calls home more than a century on.

Resplendent with early 19^th century nostalgia, from its old steamer trunks and pith helmets to its antique bathroom basins and hurricane lanterns, Hamiltons is a tribute to the generation whose vision has resulted in the conservation of one of Africa’s prime wilderness areas, without compromising on modern-day comforts and luxuries.    

Built entirely of canvas set amidst age-old Jackalberry and Sausage trees, with high wooden platforms linking six elevated tents, Hamiltons treats guests to stunning views of the Nwatswitsonto River and offers the opportunity to enjoy spectacular wildlife and birdlife sightings. Your encounter with the Kruger bush truly is up close and personal.

Hamiltons not only represents a little slice of history. It guarantees a private, exclusive bushveld escape, unfettered by unnecessary modern interruptions and authentic in every way.

Our rooms are configured as Twin Single (2 single beds), Double (Queen size bed) or Family rooms (Queen size bed and two single pull-out beds for children under 12 years old).

The architect and interior designer of RockFig Safari Lodge were inspired by the Timbavati setting of this luxury South African safari lodge to create a relaxed ambience with indoor and outdoor guest spaces that segue into each other, and enable both communal and private moments suffused with an authentic bush feel.

Set within South Africa’s largest and most well-known game reserve in the world, Ngala Private Game Reserve offers not only one of the most incredible Big Five wildlife experiences in the world, but also offers an intimate one due to our exclusive traversing rights on 14,700 hectares (36,000 acre) of wilderness land.  Safaris are led by expert &BEYOND-trained ranger and tracker teams, that ensure sensitive off-roading practices to allow close-up game sightings of elephant, buffalo, rhino, lion, leopard, spotted hyena, giraffe and more.

Located in the heart of the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, Africa on Foot offers guests the opportunity to experience a professional Big Five walking safari in the Kruger. The Klaserie shares unfenced borders with the Kruger, which means wildlife roams freely throughout.

The atmosphere at camp is relaxed. The focus is on authenticity and the "bush" as opposed to luxury. Guests will be made to feel like they are part of the Africa on Foot family. There are only five chalets which means a personalised, intimate service.

There are 2 chalets available for families with adjoining rooms and space for 4 people. A luxury treehouse is beautifully constructed just outside camp for adventurous guests wanting to sleep out in the wild in an elevated wooden "house" on stilts. Two swimming pools adorn the property - one is located inside the camp, which is ideal for families. The other swimming pool is adjacent to the treehouse, a few steps outside of the entrance to camp.

The idyllic Letaba Rest Camp is situated on a sweeping bend of the Letaba River, midway between the southern and northern boundaries of the Kruger National Park. The name means “river of sand”, and the sandy riverbed is an excellent location for game viewing, particularly elephant, which thrive in the area.
