Green Travel Experiences

Sanwild Wildlife Sanctuary

The stylish Savannah Private Bush Camp consists of four luxury chalets with en-suite bathrooms and thatched roofs. Satellite television is available in all the chalets.

The central facility is set in beautiful gardens with a rock pool where guests can escape the heat while keeping a close eye on a wide variety of wild animals drinking from the waterhole a mere 80 meters away. The camp is completely fenced to keep out SanWild’s large wild animals like elephants, rhinos and hippos.

Your hosts, Ellen and Gary are ready to welcome you and to ensure that your stay is a memorable one. Meals are served in the dining room cum lounge that has a huge fireplace for those cold rainy days. A veranda under thatch leads off to the dining room and includes a small pub where guests can relax or socialize during the day. Some evenings are spent in the open-air boma area where meals can be prepared next to a campfire or you might very well be surprised with a bush supper that is enjoyed in the bush. These special suppers are offered in the wilderness areas of the reserve and the venue is changed regularly to provide a unique and special bush experience.

A maximum of eight to ten people can be accommodated in the Savannah Private Bush Camp at any given time. The camp is also available to groups or for corporate bookings. Guided eco-ranger walks are done very early in the morning or you can choose to take a leisurely morning or afternoon game drive. Night drives are done by special arrangement.
