Spekboom Bush Camp
Immersed in the bush, solar-powered and eco-conscious, Spekboom Bush Camp is a place that reconnects you with nature, in the company of close family and friends.
Perched atop a hillside overlooking the perennial Kowie River, the camp enjoys an endless parade of birdlife, while elephant, black rhino, eland, nyala, waterbuck and baboon can often be seen along the river bank and on the broad plain below.

Exclusive Use
Spekboom Bush Camp is booked on an exclusive basis, offering the guest party complete privacy and flexibility whilst staying in camp. It is the ideal place for families or groups travelling together. Your safari itinerary is 100% dependant on your choice and preference.
Spekboom Bush Camp operates on solar-generated electricity with a generator to supplement power when necessary. Filtered water is supplied from a nearby borehole and sterile drinking water is provided. Hot water comes from specially designed boilers using wood from alien plants removed as part of the habitat restoration project, contributing to its incredible light footprint.
The camp is aptly named after the prolific indigenous plant ‘Spekboom’ which grows abundantly in the area. This evergreen succulent is a key species in the fight to sequester atmospheric carbon in the Eastern Cape. It has a remarkable capacity to absorb carbon and is a major component in our habitat restoration project at Buffalo Kloof.
