The Notten’s Experience

Notten’s Bush Camp is a top choice for travellers seeking a private Big Five safari away from the crowds. The lodge’s heritage as a family-run destination is reflected in its personalised service and the communal atmosphere of open-air boma dinners. By replacing electric lighting with candlelight, the camp creates a quiet, immersive environment, making it one of the most romantic honeymoon safari escapes in the Sabi Sands.

The camp balances high-end wildlife viewing with a low-impact approach to luxury. Guests can divide their time between tracking leopards in open-top vehicles and relaxing at the private pool or spa. It is a functional and authentic sanctuary for those who value privacy, traditional safari values, and world-class conservation.
