AfriCamps at Bonamanzi Game Reserve
Your Glamping Safari Escape Between Hluhluwe and St Lucia, KwaZulu-Natal

Nestled in the heart of Zululand, AfriCamps at Bonamanzi offers a unique luxury glamping experience within a 4,000-hectare private game reserve. Perfectly positioned between the world-renowned Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park and the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, this tranquil wildlife haven combines the thrill of safari with the comfort of boutique accommodation.

At Bonamanzi, guests can explore a rich variety of ecosystems - from ancient Sand Forests and sprawling Savannahs to lush Wetlands - all within a proclaimed Natural Heritage Site since 1995. The reserve is home to four of the Big 5 (elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard) and boasts over 400 bird species, making it a top birding destination in Southern Africa. Don’t miss the spectacular views from the Lalapanzi Dam lookout deck or the birding river cruise, a unique way to spot wildlife from the water.
