Area Info
The White Elephant Bush Camp & Umkhaya Cottage is in the beautiful Pongola Game Reserve (South) in Northern Zululand near the Swaziland border. White Elephant is easily accessible from the N2 (national route between Johannesburg and Durban) and Pongola Game Reserve (South) is a malaria free reserve.
Pongola Game Reserve, the first proclaimed game reserve in Africa, is host to a great variety of wildlife which includes buffalo, elephant, rhino, leopard, hyena, giraffe, wildebeest, zebra, warthog, 12 different antelope species, over 400 bird species and an interesting array of smaller mammal and insect life.
The reserve consists of a consolidation of privately owned land which totals 30 000 hectares including Lake Jozini.
Tranquil views of the Lebombo Mountains across the waters of Lake Jozini, magical evening skies, a variety of game & fishing activities and total privacy will ensure that your stay at White Elephant is a truly special, exclusive experience.
The Pongola Game Reserve where our camps are located is an amazingly calm and beautiful place that takes a more eco-friendly and less consumerist approach to the safari experience.
