The waterhole at Chacma Bush Camp sits just below the patio and pool deck area. It is a major drawcard for wildlife. You can watch elephants, buffalo, birds and other wildlife from the comfort of the pool deck. Wildlife at the waterhole isn’t guaranteed, but there are often consistent sightings of big game arriving at the water’s edge for a drink!
Game drives take place in the 8000ha reserve comprising of mopane woodlands, the Olifants River and rocky terrain. Game drives in the morning and evening offer morning coffee in the bush and sundowner drinks in the evening.
Evenings are spent swapping stories around the roaring campfire in the boma area, and dinners are spent indulging in traditional cuisine in the rustic lapa.
- A special sundowner session, or bush breakfast upon request, a step from the daily sundowner celebration. This might include a session on the banks of the Oliphant River or on rocky outrcop overlooking the reserve.
- Bird watching
- Boma dinners around the fire.
- Walks to the “koppie” behind the camp for scenic vistas.
