Koru Camp

Koru Camp Koru Camp is a non-profit educational eco tented camp in the Greater Kruger region of Limpopo. It is a deep rooted issue, and one where we are trying to help.

Our vision is to empower underprivileged local communities through education and foster meaningful connection to nature and wildlife. Our Story:
Koru Camp was born from the dire need for true wilderness access for the local underprivileged communities. 27 years on from Apartheid and there is still a stark and sad imbalance in the access of true African wilderness for black South African's, even th

ose living in wilderness communities surrounded by private game reserves. Without meaningful access to the bush, how can we develop a connection to, and love for, the Wilderness? And how can we develop a reverence and work to protect our wilderness if we do not know it? There are many game reserves offering day visits and game drives to programs for local communities organised by non-profit organisations, however overnight stays are either not possible or not affordable. There is already a large group of non profit organisations working tirelessly on this issue and supporting the community as best they can as part of their community outreach in the Hoedspruit area, however their work is being is hampered by their lack of access to overnight camps within game reserves. We have built an eco tented camp within a private game reserve in the Greater Kruger. This camp is non-profit and its sole purpose is to host our local communities through various organisations and their existing programs as well as our own. Koru Camp is a true wilderness camp in the middle of the bush, and is as an educational and inspirational space for local communities to experience the African bush.

When the bush leaves you speechless.... 😍

Our latest group from Mambas in the Park had a very special welcome to camp in the form of this beautiful, calm elephant!

The entire group stood completely transfixed as he casually fed on the green grass by the fence - unperturbed by our presence.

No doubt this will be a story these budding conservationists will be telling long into the future 🐘

This is how you fall in love with nature 💚 a huge thank you to and for sponsoring these amazing learners to get into the wild and fuel their passion and understanding. By working together, we can make a difference for both our communities AND our wildlife 🤝

What do our visitors love MOST about Koru Camp?

We asked some of the future rangers from ...

No surprises hearing that lions was a big favourite for many - but we loved that it wasn't the only thing that captured their imagination. From elephants and impalas to medicinal trees and even playing our educational games - there's so much to see, do, and learn out here in the wild 🎉

Restoring meaning access to nature and inspiring the next generation of wildlife champions one camp at a time 🥰

THE 🧊 ICEBREAKER 🎉

At Koru Camp, we're not just a venue - every part of our camp stay has been carefully structured to have a positive impact and educational experience from the very beginning.

Arriving in a strange place in the middle of the bush can be intimidating for children who have never even left their village... Which is why we always start our camps with some quick, fun icebreaker activities!

From hulahoops and magic carpets, to human knots and floating sticks... Each game is designed to get the group relaxed, working together, and having fun 🙌 Replacing nerves with laughter also helps to break through barriers and open minds to new ideas and experiences!

WELCOME TO THE TEAM, VINO 🎉

Vinolia joined us 12 months ago as part of a and .earth internship - with little work experience, but a passion to learn and grow. She quickly developed a love for cooking, going from the basics of chopping a fresh salad to designing her own recipes and catering entire camps and running the kitchen by herself!

Alongside it all, her calm demeanour and fun attitude brought a wonderful, fresh energy to the team - and we just couldn't imagine life without her ✨

So, this month, we were over the moon to make Vinolia an official full-time member of the Koru team 🙌 she will be joining Head chef Tinyiko in the kitchen as our Assistant chef and also helping to host our new arrivals.

Here's to a bright future ahead 💚

That reaction when a lion walks right past them.... 🫣😍🦁

Falling in love with nature is not something you can read about in a book - it has to be felt. That's why Koru Camp exists - providing a place where local communities can have meaningful experiences in the wild, and transforming their relationship with nature 🌱

We work with over 30 NGOs and partner organisations to empower local communities, challenge perceptions on conservation, and inspire the wildlife warriors of the future.

And that magic happens in moments like this...

Alongside environmental camps, we are proud to offer specialist camps in leadership, team-building, and youth empowerment. At the end of last year, joined us with 12 ambitious girls for 3 days of confidence-building and personal growth 🌸

From journalling and yoga to all-important discussions on female health and relationships, it was a heart-warming, transformational journey - made possible by sponsorship and support from and 💚
