in the Ndumo Game Reserve

The Ndumo Game Reserve in which the Wilderness Camp is situated, is considered by many to be the finest bird watching anmd wild animal locality in South Africa - over 400 species (60% of South Africa's birds) having been recorded.

Green coucal, gorgeous bush shrike, pinkthroated twinspot and African broadbill are among the "specials" resident throughout the year.
 
It is one of South Africa's most superb safari camps with luxury-tented rooms with en-suite bathrooms.The entire camp is raised up on wooden decks inter-linked by walkways under the canopies of giant fig trees.
