Fig Tree Bush Camp

Fig Tree Bush Camp is situated next to a beautiful beach created by the dried sand banks of the Shishamba River. The camp overlooks a large lagoon, 1.7 km long and about 60m wide.

This lagoon maintains it’s alluring water throughout the season attracting an array of wildlife including Elephant, Puku, Impala, Warthog, Zebra, and Hartebeest. Predators like Lion, Cheetah, Leopard and Hyena are regular visitors. The Wild Dog in the area have also been frequent visitors to the area and prey on the concentration of game.

The camp is made up of a Boma and 4 raised Luxury Safari Tents. Each safari tent has an en-suite bathroom and veranda presenting a unique view from the tree canopy. Guests will then come together underneath the Fig Tree, from which the camp is named, to savour the serenity of the lagoon as well as delicious food and wine.

Game drives take place twice a day. Walking safaris are also an option in the cool of the morning and allow guests to explore the surroundings and what they overlook on the drives.

After dinner guests will sit around a campfire, feet in the sand, gazing at the stars and listening to the sounds of the African Bush.
