Situated around a watering hole frequented by antelopes and warthogs, this upmarket bush camp is about 3km inside the reserve from the main entrance. The standard, luxury and family tented chalets on raised wooden platforms feel safari-ready with their khaki sheets, outside barbecues and private verandas overlooking the floodlit watering hole.
The chalets have gorgeous bathrooms out the back, complete with deep bath or shower, stone sink and loo with a view! They’re also well spaced out, so you really get the sense that you’re in the middle of nowhere. There’s a central lodge for meals (the food is excellent) with plenty of comfortable chairs to sink into, safari books for browsing and a stone terrace with outdoor firepit. Dinner can be combined with an 'under-the-stars boma night' with entertainment from the local Gule Wamkulu dancers. The camp isn’t fenced, so expect regular visits from elephants, buffaloes and other creatures. The camp's revenue is ploughed straight back into conserving and protecting Majete.
