Description

Life is a journey, a safari made up of a myriad of small, precious moments. In today s hurried, stressed world, most of us overlook these little moments along the way. It is these moments that make life happy and worthwhile. We need to re-adjust our focus from the journey s destination to the now . Only then will these precious moments, the simple abundance and the magical simplicities that surround us become visible.
We at White Elephant invite you to take time to see, feel, hear, sense and savour the small moments, to celebrate them with us, to re-awaken your soul.

At White Elephant life is a celebration; a celebration of the moments, of the music and harmonies of nature, of simplicity and beauty, of passion from the soul

White Elephant Bush Camp is available only as a private camp for exclusive hire.

The Bush Camp is located in the beautiful Pongola Game Reserve, overlooking the western escarpment of the Lebombo Mountains, Lake Jozini and the endless savannah woodland of Northern Zululand.

Tranquil views of the Lebombo Mountains across the waters of Lake Jozini, magical evening skies, a variety of game & fishing activities and total privacy will ensure that your stay at Bush Camp is a truly special, exclusive experience.

Pongola Game Reserve is a sanctuary to a large variety of wildlife, including elephant, giraffe, wildebeest, zebra, impala, hyaena, buffalo, rhino and leopard. Birdlife is prolific due to the diversity of habitats, with in excess of 350 species recorded.

Activities
Game drives are conducted in open 4-wheel drive vehicles with professional guides.

Walking trails are very much part of the White Elephant experience and are offered as a daily excursion, normally early morning and late afternoon.

Guests will also be offered the opportunity of participating in the elephant monitoring programme, which is documenting research on the translocated elephant herds.

Boating activities include early morning game viewing cruises and late afternoon sunset excursions.

Lake Jozini offers spectacular freshwater fishing opportunities, including tiger-fishing, and is considered to be on a par with Lake Kariba.

The Bush Camp is located within close proximity to many renowned Zululand game and nature reserves, including Mkuze Game Reserve, Ndumo Game Reserve, Tembe Elephant Reserve, the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park and the Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Park.

Excursions into these game reserves can be arranged on request, or alternatively undertaken by individual guests using their own transport.
