Location

Sabi Sands, South Africa

Notten's Bush Camp sits in the Southern Sector area of Sabi Sands, South Africa, within private-reserve Greater Kruger woodland with exceptional leopard and big-cat access. The setting keeps the stay grounded in the surrounding landscape, with wildlife, light and distance shaping the sense of place before each day’s safari begins.

From the UK, access is usually via Johannesburg or Cape Town, followed by a scheduled flight, road transfer or charter depending on the reserve.

South Africa is generally one of the easiest safari countries logistically, especially for families and first-time travellers.

Perfect for The Immersionist & The Seeker

Notten's Bush Camp speaks first to The Immersionist travellers through ecosystem depth, slower observation, and fewer places done properly. The Seeker adds a clear, generous introduction to wild Africa. Together, the fit is less about ticking off features and more about matching the lodge to the traveller's natural safari tempo.

Accomodation

What kinds of rooms are avaliable?

Original and authentic South African game lodge where accommodation is designed around 9 private suites including one family room and one triple suite.
