Our two camp sites are geographically located in the Parsons area – another unfenced part of Balule.

Our camp is situated directly on the Olifants River, which flows all year round and is therefore vital for the survival of fauna and flora. Thanks to this continuous water supply, the camp and the surrounding biosphere reserve offer fascinating wildlife sightings in spectacular natural surroundings all year round. The camp deliberately has no fences, and wild animals roam the campsite as part of their natural habitat – day and night.

The camps run by our South African partners and friends Mirjam & Robert are not only a place dedicated to nature conservation and protecting the habitat of animals in South Africa, but also a culinary hideaway in the middle of the South African wilderness. Here, the soul slows down and the body recharges its batteries.

Tiger fish – an experience for anyone who dares, whether they are non-anglers or passionate fishermen. Fishing in the Olifants River and its tributary, the Salati River, is an exciting adventure. Not only does the tiger fish have large incisors, it also shares its natural habitat with enormous crocodiles and hippos. Those who don't like fishing can enjoy the untamed beauty of the wilderness in the warmth of the campfire with a drink and a snack, or enjoy the passing scenery and its native inhabitants from the boat.

We experience life according to the rules of the wilderness.

Outdoor cooking, known as ‘braai’, is the order of the day – meals are prepared almost exclusively over an open wood fire – even on the wooden boat on the mighty Olifants River! Traditionally prepared regional meat, game, fish and shellfish from the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic coast, vegetables from local farms are served daily, all accompanied by a magnificent variety of wines from the Cape Wine Kingdom and South African fynbos gins.

You will stay in two authentically furnished cottages, each with 4 and 3 double rooms, at the River Camp directly on the Olifants River.
