Esikhotheni Bush Camp

Walking down the 8 sleeper-log steps to the bushcamp, greeted by joyful chorus of the myriad of birds that inhabit the area, guests find themselves transposed into another world.  Welcomed perhaps by a Nyala having a quiet drink at the camp waterhole, or even just the buzz of the bush, alive with activity, you will realise that this is as close to paradise as one can get.

 The thatched elevated enormous deck, with canvassed sides and enclosed log cabin in the rear comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests in the open air, either under mosquito nets, or just with the fans keeping the air moving gently.

 A paved pathway around the back of the deck leads to the very unique,very private bathroom, surrounded by bush.  The big sliding windows render a sense of “bush belonging” allowing one to observe (or be observed) transforming the most mundane of activities into an experience.

 The spacious braai area, under an enormous Acacia, also paved with sleeper-logs, a most inviting place to spend long evenings around the fire relaxing, watching the dancing flames.  This leads on to the open rondavel kitchen, fully equipped for the self-catering guest : including a fridge, microwave, gas stove and freezer.

 The camp is serviced daily by a very unobtrusive Chivale, who, between 7.00 and 7.30 will announce his arrival with a polite “cough”.  He will efficiently attend to your needs before slipping away unnoticed, only to re-appear when there is something that needs to be done, or to stack the fire for another evening of relaxation.
