A tranquil mountain hideaway with a colonial air, Camp Figtree lies the folds of the Zuurberg mountains and overlooks Addo Elephant National Park, home to the world's highest density of elephants. This pretty setting allows for a dynamic experience of South Africa's Eastern Cape Province, with its highly underrated wilderness areas – and no concerns about malaria. With refined hospitality, great cuisine, rooms with every comfort, big views, and flawless attention to detail, Camp Fig Tree is a treat-yourself destination that will not disappoint.




Two Superior suites have large four-poster beds, high ceilings, deep armchairs, and excellent en-suite bathrooms. Superior Boardwalk and Luxury suites are on stilts, four metres above the cliff, with broad balconies accessed via French doors, and mesmerising Zuurberg views. Poolside suites are spacious and can be converted into a family room with interleading doors, and access to a private pool. All rooms have en-suite bathrooms with piping-hot showers, deep tubs and brightly lit vanities. Colours throughout are gently warm.
