Quatermain's Camp

This classic 1920's style expedition camp is modeled on the heyday of exploration, that golden era when adventure lay around every corner. Our intimate 6-bed camp offers you the opportunity to experience "Africa under canvas", with 3 crisp white 1900's style safari tents fitted out with military campaign style furnishings, the choice of pioneers, hunters and explorers of that time.

At Quartemain's Camp, guests can relax in the centralized boma area where local delicacies are prepared in front of you on an open fire, dinner is served under a blanket of stars with the fire burning bright in the boma.

Every effort has been made to stay true to the expedition style camps, with concessions only being allowed for rustic bathrooms with modern conveniences.

Guests at our expedition camp can enjoy the excitement of "Big 5" safaris on 2 of Eastern Cape's premier game reserves with their personal guide offering insight into the intracies of the African bush.

To experience the real nature of the African bush and enjoy some of the many wildlife encounters this area has to offer we run twice-daily game drives. Your hosts Riaan and Julie Brand are both experienced rangers and will do their upmost to ensure that you have a safari that you will never forget. As we operate in "Big 5" areas, Quartemain's Camp has traversing rights over Amakhala Private Game Reserve as well as the famous Shamwari Private Game Reserve, where you will have a chance of seeing elephant, white and black rhino, leopard, buffalo and lion, as well as a variety of other game such as hyena, cheetah, zebra, giraffe, many species of antelope and much more. As larger, more obvious creatures, your hosts will delight in showing you the smaller but no less important members of this ecosystem as well as the birds and plants.

Guided bush walks can be conducted upon request. This can be a wonderful way to really learn about the environment of the camp; from watching birds, to looking at plants, to discovering the geology of the area and if you are lucky you may well see some of the larger wildlife that lives in the vicinity, such as many species of antelope.

The area surrounding the camp contains superb and diverse birdlife encompassing fynbos, thicket, and grassland biomes. We also have the Bushman's River that ensures we see a wealth of water birds.

Your host Riaan Brand is a specialist bird guide and can introduce you to the many beautiful species that surround us at Quartemain's Camp. You will never look at birds in the same way again.
