QUATERMAIN'S CAMP
Private Game Reserve Accommodation
in Amakhala Game Reserve, Western Region,
Eastern Cape, South Africa
This classic 1920's style expedition camp is modelled on the heyday of
exploration, that golden era when adventure lay around every corner. Our
intimate 6 bed camp offers you the opportunity to experience "Africa under
canvas", with three crisp white 1900's style safari tents fitted out with
military campaign style furnishings; the choice of pioneers, hunters and
explorers of that time.
Relax in the centralized boma area where local delicacies are prepared in front
of you on an open fire, and dinner is served under a blanket of stars. Every
effort has been made to stay true to the expedition style, with concessions only
being allowed for rustic bathrooms with modern conveniences. Guests at our
expedition camp can enjoy the excitement of "Big 5" safaris on 2 of Eastern
Cape's premier game reserves in a malaria free area.
Our comfortable colonial style tents will ensure you enjoy a genuine bush
experience.
Relax on your own private deck, and if you are lucky you may see an elusive
bushbuck or hear the cry of the African fish eagle. Each tent is equipped with
military campaign style furniture similar to that used by the early explorers.
At night as you lie under canvas one of the highlights of your stay is sure to
be drifting off to sleep to the sounds of nature; you can frequently expect to
hear jackals calling, the beautiful voice of the fiery-necked nightjar, maybe a
screeching barn owl, or if you are fortunate, the roar of lions.
At Quatermains Camp we will do our very best to make sure that you are enveloped
by the natural world and that you will return home refreshed and with a new
sense of wonder and understanding of the wildlife around us.
Game Drives
To experience the real nature of the African bush and enjoy some of the many
wildlife encounters this area has to offer we run twice daily game drives. Your
hosts Riaan and Julie Brand are both experienced rangers and will do their
upmost to ensure that you have a safari that you will never forget. As we
operate in "Big 5" areas you have a chance of seeing elephant, white and black
rhino, leopard, buffalo and lion as well as a variety of other game including
hyena, cheetah, zebra, giraffe, many species of antelope and much more. As well
as the larger, more obvious creatures your hosts will delight in showing you the
smaller but no less important members of this ecosystem as well as the birds and
plants.
Bush Walks
Guided bush walks can be conducted upon request. This can be a wonderful way to
really learn about the environment of the camp; from watching birds, to looking
at plants, to discovering the geology of the area and if you are lucky you may
well see some of the larger wildlife that lives in the vicinity, such as many
species of antelope.
