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.

Wir genossen diese Zeit in diesem Camp sehr .Tolles Staff, waren so aufmerksam und haben uns verwöhnt mit tollem Essen und überrascht mit Morgenessen am Fluss und einmal Abendessen am Feuer. Die tollen Game Drives werden wir nicht mehr vergessen, das war ein einmaliges Erlebnis mit dem Löwenrudel, auch sonst was wir gesehen und geboten bekommen haben. Wir können dieses Camp nur weiterempfehlen.

Merci à toute l'équipe pour ces deux jours inoubliables. Cette petite structure (seulement quatre tentes) nous a permis de nous sentir entre nous. Les tentes étaient très confortables, les repas parfaits et adaptés aux contraintes alimentaires que nous avions données à l'avance. Les 2 guides de safari étaient extrêmement attentionnés et nous ont permis de voir de très nombreux animaux à chaque sortie et dans les meilleures conditions. Ne pas hésiter à demander aussi un safari à pied qui permet de voir tout autre chose. Une multitude de petites attentions (comme un petit déjeuner surprise au bord du fleuve à la fin du safari) a rendu ce séjour merveilleux.

Fabulosa estancia. Hemos estado 3 noches y la experiencia ha sido inolvidable. Todos los aspectos (personal, cocina, instalaciones, safaris, entorno) han cubierto ampliamente nuestras expectativas. Sin duda volveremos para revivir esta experiencia. Los guías Harry y Jack son excepcionales, consiguiendo avistamientos de leopardos y leones todos los días incluyendo cachorros, además de todos los animales típicos del entorno. Mención especial también para nuestra cocinera Elly y a Emmanuel, que nos ha facilitado toda la experiencia. Muchas gracias!

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.

Loved every second! The intimate lodge, which has a personalised touch - has the most welcoming team, who went out of there way to make sure your stay was as memorable as possible. The food was freshly prepared and delicious. The deck area that overlooks the bush, has a great seating area to help yourself to a drink from the honesty bar and a small splash pool which was so great with the hot weather. The game viewing was incredible (lion, wild dog, hyena, leopard, elephants and so much more). The best game viewing we have ever experienced (highlight being heading home in the dark after seeing an incredible leopard spotting that lasted over 20 minutes) to then be surprised by a heard of lion walking on the road infront of us - on the way back to the camp. Was incredible. The Menu tents are basic (as advertised), though comfortable and clean. The first night we were treated to a Boma dinner, the second night we all cooked potjie around the table and the third night they set up a private dining area for each couple. We also booked a massage which was enjoyed in a hide - overlooking a waterhole. So worth it! We also loved that the one morning the team set up breakfast on the river bank where we could watch the hippos. Thank you team Bundox for such an awesome experience and wholesome hospitality!

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.

Bundox left us speechless. We loved the place and especially the level of friendliness that we experienced. Emanuel and his team did everything they possibly could do to make our stay most memorable. We loved it and would come back in a second!
