Camp Figtree

Camp Figtree is a remote, private lodge set on top of the stunning Zuurberg mountain range. Resting between a conservancy and the greater Addo Elephant National Park, the camp boasts breathtaking 270-degree views over the verdant surrounding areas and out onto the steely-blue Indian Ocean.

Camp Figtree has been designed around its original 1920's traditional colonial building style. Historically, this includes the distinctive use of corrugated iron roofing and wide, sweeping verandas which provide areas for relaxed sociability.

The lounge and dining room are intoxicatingly evocative of the romantic colonial era.

At Camp Figtree, four luxury suites offer guests the unique opportunity to experience the gracious style of old world elegance, exclusivity and privacy. Each bedroom, with bathroom en-suite, is individually decorated with its own veranda and private views.

Malaria Free African Bushveld

International guests will find comfort in knowing the entire region is malaria free. Evenings are spent in traditional African style around a unique "boma" with the sounds of the crackling fire and night noises drifting up from the lush valley below.

Visitors are also introduced to the constellations and the folklore associated with them.The highlight of the evening is the rare opportunity to peer through a powerful telescope at the hidden structures of the Universe, too faint to observe with the unaided eye.
