Kingfisher Bush Camp, one of Kwa Madwala’s best kept secrets, is an exclusive private 3 star bush camp offering a tranquil environment, combining basics in the bush with a magnificent setting overlooking a waterhole where animals frequently come to drink.
With the exception of your ranger assigned to you for your safety, and the housekeeper, you will be left alone in peace. The sounds of the bush and the serenity of nature around you will be your Kingfisher experience.
Your ranger will assist you with any activities you may wish to take part in together with your transport requirements to and from the central dining area of the Manyatta Rock Camp.
The camp is ideal for families and small groups travelling together and a unique feature of this camp is that you can arrange to have a boma bonfire outside your unit after dinner.
Guests are requested to leave their self drive vehicles at the guest parking area and check in at the reception area of the Manyatta Rock Camp after which they will be escorted to the Kingfisher Bush Camp.
