Ndumo Wilderness Camp - CLOSED INDEFINITELY

Ndumo is one of the oldest parks in Africa. Likened to Botswana's famed Okavango Delta, Ndumo Game Reserve encompasses the confluence of two river systems: the Usutu and Pongola. Varied habitats, including expansive floodplains and rivers, dense forests, seasonal and permanent pans and rolling grasslands, all combine to create a park with an incredible diversity of animal and plant species. The reserve receives abundant water from the two rivers and attracts many water-loving birds including fish eagles and Pel's fishing owl, some 60% of South Africa's bird species have been recorded in the area. Large numbers of Rhino (Black and White), Buffalo, Giraffe, Crocodile, Hippo, Nyala, Zebra, Wildebeest and other antelope species occur around the pans. Ndumo Wilderness Camp overlooks Banzi Pan, with one of the most extraordinarily scenic views of any camp in Southern Africa.

Activities at Ndumo centre on game drives, boating trips, game walks and birding. Ndumo is considered by many to be South Africa's finest birding destination, and specials abound. Green Coucal, Gergeous Bush Shrike, African Broadbill and Pinkthoated Twinspot are often sighted. Black and White Rhino can be tracked by foot, as well as Cape Buffalo, Red duiker, Nyala and Giraffe. The elusive Suni is sometimes seen. Lions are known to move in and out of the area, and Spotted Hyena are resident. The hides provide relaxing opportunities to watch the passing parade of bird and animal life, and night drives are also rewarding. Guests may encounter both species of Bush Babies, Porcupine, both Genet species, and Civet. Fly-fishing for Tigerfish and Bream from the boat is also popular. Warthog and Nyala are often encountered around the camp, feeding on fallen figs beneath the boardwalk.

Guests have the opportunity of relaxing around the secluded plunge pool.
