Bundox Safari Co evolved from founder Marinus Smith’s experiences in the wild, uncharted territory north of the Zambezi delta in Mozambique where, as a young man, he built and ran a bush camp for a small safari operator. It was this wild, impenetrable wilderness that was to give his future company its name – Bundox – an appropriation of the word “boondocks”, meaning “rough, untamed country”. In Africa, we call it “bundu”. In Mozambique, they pronounce it “bundox” with no small amount of Portuguese flair! Reimagining African Safaris - What makes the perfect safari? Is it the thread count of the sheets on an impossibly large bed or opulent décor dripping with objets d'art? Or is it life-changing experiences in vast, remote wilderness areas filled with iconic wildlife species? We think it’s a little of one and a lot of the other. Bundox Safari Co is not against luxury on safari, we just don’t want our safaris to be defined by it. Where our accommodation is concerned, we take a more understated approach to luxury, reducing it to a natural, simple form that blends perfectly with the environments in which we work. We ensure that comfort is brought to the fore, using clever, modern design to create spaces that are relaxing, practical and easy on the eye. It’s our experiences, especially those that connect you directly with wild Africa, that are truly the benchmark of a Bundox Safari Co safari… Out there in the African bush, where all of your senses are immersed in the wilderness and become imperceptibly attuned to it, allowing you to truly understand the raw, untamed power of nature. That’s our brand of luxury. Authentic. Natural. True.

TIMELESS THRILLS: EMBRACE THE ESSENCE OF A CONSERVATION-DRIVEN EXPERIENCE Welcome to Khanya Conservation Camp, a safari-tented retreat situated in the heart of the Balule North Reserve. This camp offers more than just a getaway; it is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the African bush while making a positive impact on conservation. Set amid dense mopane woodlands, Khanya Conservation Camp provides an authentic, back-to-roots safari experience tailored for groups of friends, families, or like-minded explorers passionate about wildlife and wilderness preservation. The camp is steeped in history, located on land once owned by a visionary cattle farmer who cultivated a thriving enterprise by breeding cattle and transporting them by train. Over time, recognizing the area’s ecological significance, the land was restored to its natural state and integrated into the greater Kruger ecosystem. Today, this conservation area plays a vital role in protecting the region’s flora and fauna, ensuring a sustainable future for future generations. With elephants frequently seen near the camp’s water pan, guests can enjoy incredible wildlife sightings from the comfort of the camp. Khanya Conservation Camp combines an immersive outdoor lifestyle with uncompromising comfort, offering a sanctuary for adventurers and wildlife.
