Kusini Kopjes Kambi

Although game viewing peaks during the migration seasons, Kusini Kopjes is a permanent camp, so visitors can expect a high level of luxury. The main area, which is linked to the suites by granite and wooden walkways, has a large lounge and dining room with comfortable chairs and couches decorated in earthy tones with splashes of colour. On the terrace, the outdoor fireplace is the perfect setting to linger at sundown, G&T in hand, and gaze at the sprawling wilderness.

Twelve tented suites, including a secluded honeymoon unit, range along the edge of the kopje. Each tent has a king-sized bed at its centre and a lounge area with comfortable chairs and cosy throws for chilly evenings. A dressing area with beautifully crafted cupboards and mirror, a desk and soft carpets leads to the en-suite bathroom, with a roomy shower (there's an outdoor shower too) and a lovely bathtub at the window. Soft white curtains add a sense of elegance.

Morning and afternoon game drives take you to the very heart of the action, especially when the migration passes through between December and April and then again in July/August. However, you can expect superb wildlife sightings all year. Bush walks with an armed guide are best before and after the heat, and you can explore the granite hills, which are ecosystems in themselves with interesting plants and small animals. For a unique (if costly) perspective, book a hot-air balloon safari.
