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.
