In creating Bundox Explorer Camp on a private concession of the Olifants West section of the Greater Kruger’s Balule Game Reserve, we addressed the questions of what makes a great safari great and what you really need when staying in the bush.
The answers speak for themselves… You need somewhere comfortable to sleep and tend to the daily functions of existence, good food, a place to relax and unwind, a method of cooling off in the summer heat, awesome views and excellent game viewing in a wilderness environment, and, finally, an amazing team of people to make you feel at home.
Located in the Olifants West Nature Reserve, this Big Five territory is where guests will enjoy both game drives and guided walking trails through rugged Lowveld terrain and along the Olifants River.
In Room Facilities:There are no hard and fast rules that define luxury when it comes to safari experiences. For us luxury comes in the form of uncomplicated, effortless surroundings that make you feel part of wild Africa rather than separated from it. Bundox Explorer Camp is a lesson in simplicity and its four double tents take their inspiration from a bygone era when less was definitely more.
Each has twin beds with sprung bases and comfortable divan-style mattresses, dressed in cool cotton sheets and lightweight duvets. Additional blankets are kept in a wooden kist for the cooler months and crisp winter nights. The camp is off-grid with a solar system that provides power in each tent, enabling you to recharge your devices and camera batteries as needed. A fan provides the perfect cooling breeze whenever you need it.
The en-suite bathrooms include a flushing toilet, single vanity unit with a basin and a shower with running cold water. Hot water is available on demand and is run through a bucket shower system that’s both effective and wonderfully sustainable.
Mosquito flaps allow the tents to remain secure but airy, providing good ventilation in the warmer months. There is insect repellant and bug spray in each room, as well as packing and hanging space for clothing. Outside there is a small deck with comfortable chairs and views of the camp.
The result is the perfect combination of comfort, practical, clean design and functionality that’s also easy on the eye. What more could you wish for?
Area Information:Staying at Bundox Explorer Camp is as much an adventure as exploring the wonderful wilderness of the Olifants West region of the Balule. Blending perfectly into its location on the top of a hill overlooking the breathtaking South African Lowveld and distant Northern Drakensberg Escarpment, the accent is on immersing you in an African adventure and releasing you from the stress of everyday life.
With a small team of enthusiastic staff dedicated to helping create exceptional safari experiences, every effort is made to produce safari perfection, from the wonderful home-cooked meals prepared in the open kitchen and dining room to the help-yourself honesty bar in the lounge area of the raised viewing deck.
It’s small, intimate and absolutely fabulous, and upholds the adage that great things come in small packages!

Accommodation is nicely located in a quiet area. Far away from other lodges! The staff that runs around there is really fantastic, they are so caring and want you to have a nice stay. The game drives are really top of the line under Maurits and Oliver. It is really a must, we enjoyed it!
The Bundox team and their commitment to make the experience unique.
It was a fantastic experience. The team was always there for us and were excited to tell more about the animals and the environment. I would recommend it to everyone.
It was in the middle of the bush and very peaceful, except for the night's animal noises (lion / elephant etc.). But this creates a stunning atmosphere. The camp was very clean, comfortable and the staff world class! The food was really delicious, consideration was given to us being vegetarians. The dinner by the campfire was very romantic and we were particularly surprised with the last breakfast. Gamedrives were fun and we saw a lot of animals. The pool is a bit fresh, but still great to cool off. We would like to come back again in the summer when everything is green.
Literally everything! - the kindness and kindness of the staff, always attentive and full of surprises - the idyllic setting in the heart of the savannah with animals that come to drink just meters from the pool - the comfort of the tent Food excellent (thanks to chef)
The whole stay was so special and we enjoyed every part of it. From the camp to the food and game drives, we had the best time. A special thanks to Simba, Emmanuel, Harry, and Rex for making this an unforgettable stay. 10/10 recommend!!
The 4x4 safari from the pickup to the accommodation, the super responsive staff and caring, respect for nature both on safari and on camp
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. 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. 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.
We loved being fully immersed in the African bush with super attentive staff and a magical location. The animal viewing was very very special.
Incredible food, game drives and staff. Accommodation was clean and comfortable, site was beautiful - overall just an amazing experience

Hoedspruit Reviews
Beautiful and Clean, pity a place like Mali Mali can upset a persons Holiday... an event that was meant to be legendary! Mali Mali is not as per there website... they manipulate the internet!
The nature.
Morokologa game reserve, we spend our Christmas at the camp and we had a beautiful game drive and morning walks with my grandmother. Played games and reconnected as a family.
Most of Gold cabins- the weather - the sound of the birds-
Since we have family and old colleagues in Hoedspruit we enjoy everything. Love going to Hoedspruit for a weekend break away.
The quietness.
It’s a beautiful town which is easily accessible and has all the convenient shopping around the lodges nearby and one is able to do various activities around the area.
Privacy!
The town is very small yet beautiful and neat. It has lots of tourist attractions and good place to visit, just to unwind!
