Bukisa Bush Camp New

Wildlife Sanctuary getaway! Come and visit the animals you will be helping by booking your stay at Bukisa Camp. Proceeds are allocated to the SanWild Wildlife Sanctuary

Situated in the heart of the SanWild Wildlife Sanctuary and dwarfed by Spitzkop, this private tented camp looks out over the vast vista of the Drakensberg Mountains and will ensure you enjoy tranquility and serenity.

The camp consists of 5 safari-styled tents, each with an en-suite bathroom and electricity. The central facility consists of a lounge, dining room, a pub area with a fireplace and a rock pool. The kitchen is fully equipped for a self-catering option. Under cover parking and a daily cleaning service is provided. Game drives, hiking trials and cycle tours depart from Bukisa Camp by prior arrangement.

At the waterhole just below the camp you are almost guaranteed a visit by Bukisa’s herd. This small group of African elephants was rescued from an imminent culling operation in the Thukela Biosphere Reserve in 2006 and was relocated to the safety of the SanWild Wildlife Sanctuary where they have built a new life for themselves. 

A wide variety of animals such as impala, kudu, blue wildebeest, zebra, waterbuck, red hartebeest and giraffe amongst others are  spotted at the waterhole on regular visits. You may even be fortunate to spot an elusive aardvark, pangolin , caracal or even a leopard in the late afternoon.
