Kaoxa Bush Camp

Kaoxa Bush Camp is located in the Limpopo Valley and consists of three intimate stone and thatch cottages and three luxury safari tents, all with en-suite bathrooms. The accommodations open onto private decks overlooking an extraordinary vista. The camp has electricity but is not air-conditioned.

There is a communal kitchen equipped with an electric oven, gas hob, and fridge and freezer space, with all necessary utensils and crockery provided. Guests can enjoy meals in the attractive dining room or around a crackling fire in the authentic boma, which features its own braai facilities, creating a wonderfully atmospheric African experience.

The camp features an unusually shaped swimming pool where guests can cool off during the hottest months. Due to the presence of dangerous animals on the farm, caution should be exercised when enjoying the beauty of the bush. A short walk from the camp leads to arguably the finest San rock art shelter in the Limpopo Province, featuring annotated information boards to help interpret the fantastic images, including the only locust images in the world.

Elephants are frequent visitors to the camp and often drink from the waterhole in front of the cottages. In the early morning, guests can be entertained by the lovely, colorful lizards warming themselves on the rocks surrounding the camp. The entrance gate to Mapungubwe National Park, a World Heritage Site, is only a ten-minute drive away, allowing visitors to see and learn about the first African Kingdom.

Great attention is paid to preserving the delicate ecology of the area and reducing the carbon footprint. The Tuli elephants, originally from across the Limpopo River, are now considered wandering residents, frequently criss-crossing the farm and often seen drinking from the waterhole in front of the camp. As the area opens up, these gentle giants will hopefully use their old migratory routes to the East.

Guests can enjoy the extraordinary sounds of an African sunset as night falls, and the bush echoes with the calls of Barking Geckos. The camp has been built in harmony with nature, allowing guests to feel at one with the African bush amidst the koppies (rocky hills), surrounded by Kalahari sand and ancient Baobab trees.

The Limpopo Valley is an ancient, arid, unspoiled part of Africa, yet to be discovered. Kaoxa Bush Camp is located in the Limpopo-Shashi confluence area near the boundaries of Botswana, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. The Limpopo Valley is known for its majestic Baobab trees. Information displayed in the camp about the inhabitants of the bushveld and remains from the Bushman culture will enrich guests' stay.
