Accommodation

You stay in one of six elegant and spacious en suite cottages equipped with overhead fans, mosquito netting and private viewing decks. Notten's Bush Camp has deliberately opted against electric lighting so a magical atmosphere is created with candles and lanterns evoking an enchanting spirit of romance.

Located in the heart of the Sabi Sands you have a good chance of viewing the 'Big Five' as well as plenty of other game & bird life. Game drives are led by highly experienced and knowledgeable guides with a passion for the bush and its wildlife. Afterwards lazy hours can be spent at the sparkling pool whilst the Nature Spa offers a peaceful setting for a relaxing massage. Other facilities include an open plan lounge and dining area with large fireplace which leads out to a wooden deck overlooking the plains. There's also a bar and wine cellar. The delicious cuisine is traditional South African bush cooking. Here you share stories and hospitality with other guests around the table.

Notten's Bush Camp welcomes children from 6 years and over and there is one family cottage, with two en suite bedrooms, and one triple room available for families. Access to Notten's is ideally from Skukuza Airport in the Kruger Park (with a short 20-30 minute transfer to the lodge) but you can also fly into Kruger International Airport (1½ to 2 hours drive away).
