Bundox Explorer Camp

We had a fantastic time in the Bundox Explorer Camp. Chris, the lodge manager, and the whole team made our stay very special and unique. We had great Safaris with a lot of interesting information about the wildlife, excellent food and in the camp there is a warm, family-like atmosphere. Two times we could observe elephants from the relaxing pool area what was really impressive.

Explorer Camp! What a place! We booked the Live Wild Plus package with Bundox Safari Company to spend a week on safari, and it really didn't disappoint! The company were absolutely amazing and so helpful in helping us to organise our wedding while we were there, and it was more special than we could ever have hoped. What needs the biggest commendation is the team at the Explorer Camp. Emmanuel, Harry, Oliver and Ellie were spectacular! They were kind, friendly, attentive and incredibly knowledgeable. Our stay would not have been the same without them, so thank you. As far as safari experience goes, Explorer Camp arguably provided us with the best of the three camps. We saw 4 of the Big 5 and Harry and Oliver did a fabulous job of sharing their exceptional knowledge and skill with us, so we came away not only having seen so much, but having learned a lot. The accommodation was less luxurious than River Lodge but we loved it just as much. The camp was very comfortable with a plunge pool, lounge area and pleasant accommodation. And as for the food... Delicious! Thanks Ellie! This place will always be special for us. We'd recommend it to anyone. And hopefully we'll visit again one day.

Bundox is a special place. We were picked up from the airport and as it was our first time in Kruger, didn't know what to expect. The drive took us to the 'camp' which consists of 4 tents plus facilities for the team that live on site and common areas like the kitchen/dining area and pool/lounge area. Don't expect pressure showers in your tent but apart from that all (tent) facilities were excellent. Just after our arrival we spotted an elephant that came drinking from the water hole just in front of the lounge area which was a great first encounter with the wildlife in the camp. A couple of days later a giraffe came to do the same. We stayed 3 nights and did the 2 safari's each day. At 4 hours each a lot of time is spent in the jeep looking for wildlife but it was definitely worth it as we were able to tick off 4 of the big 5. The female chef is excellent and the manager of the camp extremely accommodating and friendly and we had an amazing time there and can highly recommend Bundox. The camp fire evening and surprise breakfast at elephant river were nice touches. However we found the ranger a little annoying as he really followed his own agenda during the game drives, instead of listening to us and to find out what we were looking for. The female 'spotter' was not very friendly and this combination of both marred our game drive experience. Also the drive back to the airport in an open vehicle at 80/100km an hour was not a pleasant experience and once again showed the disconnect the female spotter/driver had with us (guests).

Absolutely perfect. We lived every second of our stay. The camp had everything we needed. We stayed an extra night! Would love to return but only if Emanuel, Ellie, Oliver and Maritz wiil be there as well. This team really makes an extra effort for their guests.

We spent two nights in this luxury camp with very kind and careful people. Two Safaris are included a day, it is a small camp , you feel immersed in nature. Enjoying Brai for dinner , and you can relax by the little swimming pool and see animals coming close .

A wonderful experience for our group! A crew that makes an effort to give you the best of the best for the game drives and your stay! Very nice food in an exceptional place in the greater Kruger. 5 ⭐️
