Description

Set in a secluded valley on the beautiful Amakhala Game Reserve, Quatermain's 1920s Safari Camp embodies the original spirit of safari. This classic 1920's style expedition camp is modelled on the heyday of exploration, that golden era when adventure lay around every corner.

The 3 tents are fitted out with military campaign-style furnishings; the choice of pioneers, hunters and explorers of that time. Each tent comprises twin beds or a double bed, an en-suite bathroom with a shower, a cupboard for clothes and a covered deck with colonial chairs and a table.

Relax in the centralised boma area where local delicacies are prepared in front of you on an open fire and dinner is served under a blanket of stars. Every effort has been made to stay true to the expedition style, with concessions only being allowed for rustic bathrooms with modern conveniences. Guests at our expedition camp can enjoy the excitement of Big 5 safaris with the option for walking safaris and birding safaris as well.

Guests also have access to a wood-fired hot tub as well as a plunge pool outside the tents.

As we operate in Big 5 areas you have a chance of seeing elephants, white and black rhinos, leopards, buffalo and lions as well as a variety of other game including hyena, cheetah, zebra, giraffe, many species of antelope and much more. As well as the larger, more obvious creatures your hosts will delight in showing you the smaller but no less important members of this ecosystem as well as the birds and plants.

If guests book a stay at Quatermain's 1920s Safari Camp for 3 nights or more they will now have the (optional) opportunity to swap one of their nights in camp for a day spent exploring on foot the beauty of our wilderness, and spending the night in Big 5 country, in a secluded cave! An adventure truly not to be missed!

Guests will join our qualified trail guides for a wild hike across the stunning Amakhala Game Reserve and spend the night in an equipped cave, overlooking the Bushman's River valley. Tasty bush fare will be prepared for them as they relax and enjoy the view. Guests will be traversing on foot through 5 possible biomes of pristine Eastern Cape 'Big 5' wilderness. There is no extra charge for this activity.
