The Kambaku Story
Our story begins with family. And an elephant.
Kambaku is the Tsonga word for a solitary elephant bull, a token of great respect for a majestic animal. Â
It was the name of one of Africa’s Magnificent Seven – the largest elephant bulls once found in the Kruger National Park, with each tusks weighing more than 60kg. He lived from 1930 – 1985.
Kambaku Lodges represent this magnificent elephant. A part of our African heritage worth protecting.
Lodge owners Bryce and Nicola were determined to raise their two children in an environment where our wildlife could be conserved, treasured and admired by the world.
Today, their vision has been actualised in three travel destinations – each one distinct in character and its innate sense of reverence for the natural realm.
We welcome you into our home – come and experience a close encounter of the African kind. Ours is an open door.
Welcome.
