Nestled in a secluded corner of the reserve, HillsNek Safari Camp is affectionately known as the “small” camp with the “greatest” heart. This family-operated lodge, with just four rooms, epitomizes personalized service, attention to detail, and genuine warmth in hospitality.
Children aged 6 and above are welcome.
The main lodge and four luxury safari tents are elevated on wooden decks, offering sweeping views of the open plains, and are positioned to ensure privacy and tranquility. Each tent features an en-suite bathroom and an outdoor shower.
HillsNek is ideal for families, small groups, or those seeking a truly romantic safari getaway and is available as an exclusive-use lodge on request.
This tent is seamlessly connected to the main lodge by elevated wooden walkways. Adjacent to the main tented bedroom is an interconnecting smaller room with two twin beds, offering comfortable accommodation for a family of four.

Shann is a travel rockstar!
Shann is a hard worker and was so helpful and patient in helping me to put together an itinerary that met the needs of our young adult children who are on a tighter budget.

Shann is the safari wizard!
We arrive for our safari experience next week, but just the experience of planning and coordinating our trip with Shann has been an absolute pleasure! She has literally taken care of everything for us and made it so easy! 10/10 would recommend.
