ACCOMMODATION

2024: Your base camp, Hluhluwe Bush Camp, is within fifteen minutes of our Greater Ukuwela Nature Reserve. You will stay in comfortable and stylish permanent safari tents (think luxury glamping!). Your spacious wooden veranda and hammocks by the pool are the perfect places to relax and unwind from your day.

These permanent safari tents are simple on the outside, and luxurious within - with room for regular beds in separate bedrooms, a bathroom with a hot shower, a well-equipped kitchenette, and a dining area. All rooms have fans for those hotter nights and a spacious veranda, where you can enjoy relaxing, reading, and soaking in the bush lifestyle. The base’s WiFi reaches each of the rooms as well.

2025: Your base camp, located at Wild Tomorrow’s Conservation Centre, is situated directly within our Greater Ukuwela Nature Reserve. Each spacious wooden chalet is a charming two-story haven blending rustic comfort with modern amenities.

Each chalet boasts two bedrooms (providing a cozy retreat after a day of meaningful conservation work!) and the accommodation is complete with a well-appointed bathroom, a kitchenette, a living/seating area, and an outdoor verandah where you can unwind while soaking in the sights and sounds of the surrounding bush.

Stay connected with the outside world using the WiFi available from the nearby Conference Centre, which conveniently reaches your chalet. Additionally, a shared common area awaits with space to relax, read, swim, and foster connections with fellow volunteers.

You’ll also spend one night inside a wildlife reserve falling asleep to the sounds of wildlife and one day and night on the coast exploring the beach and its coastal ecosystems.
