Keep the Five Alive. 🦏

This World Rhino Day, we celebrate one of Africa’s most iconic animals — and the wild places they call home. May future generations know rhinos not from photographs, but from seeing them where they belong: in the wild. 🌿

KINGLY CONSERVATION CAMP OFFERS NEW CONSERVATION ORIENTATED ACTIVITIES
The newly revamped Kingly Conservation Camp is the perfect choice for any conservation-minded client. Located in the Belle North area, Kingly opened its borders with Balule in 2018.

Previously used for hunting and cattle ranching, Bundox acquired the concession in January 2024 and transformed the camp into a classic safari destination for FIT guests. Now open for bookings, the camp features four en-suite tents and two safari lounge areas where guests can observe animals drinking from the nearby waterhole.

Activities at Kingly Conservation Camp include game drives, night drives, Olifants River boat cruises, walking safaris, and participation in conservation projects.

GUARDIANS OF NATURE
Bundox is also developing the Khanya Conservation Hub adjacent to the main camp. Currently operating from a temporary center, the Khanya project is fully endorsed by the Balule Nature Reserve and will host a series of conservation-oriented activities.
Positive impact activities at Khanya include:
- Removal of snares and wires; Removal of alien plant species; Bush debris removal
- Tree impact data collection and reporting; Assistance to biodiversity researchers
- Selected species observation and reporting; - Fence patrols, testing, and repairs

Bundox continues to support researchers financially through the camp rates, enabling them to collect information and document the thriving of ecologically important species.
In the long term, this data will highlight rare species (such as grysbok and wild dogs) and underscore the significance of biodiversity.
We hope this update provides insight into our new and improved facilities and experiences. Please contact our safari consultants for the latest safari planner, rates, and fact sheets.
Stay tuned for more news about our offerings, including Kingly Conservation Camp and glamping in Kruger National Park.

STUDENT REVIEW

Hello Ida,

I hope you are all well and still remember who I am.
Yesterday I realised that I came to South Africa a year ago.
So I thought now would be a good time to get in touch.

After a long period of work, I will be starting my degree in architecture next month.
That's why I did a one-month internship as a construction worker at the beginning of the year to gain some experience.
Then I had to prepare for the application phase by preparing artistic portfolios with architectural drawings.
I applied to four universities and was accepted at the best one. All the others rejected me.
I had to go to an interview at the university. The interview was about my time in South Africa.
The professors were very interested in my volunteer work and said that what I had learnt there was very important for my studies. So taking part in the volunteer programme helped me to be accepted at university.

Now I can almost call myself an architecture student. But not as a driver, because I recently took my driving test and failed because I was driving too fast.

Last month I went to Costa Rica and Panama for a holiday and to improve my Spanish. I noticed that some places in Costa Rica look almost exactly like places in South Africa. I even found bottles of Amarula in the supermarkets.

I hope you can at least imagine a bit what I have been doing all this time.

Greetings

Friedrich
