Accommodation

Parsons Hilltop Safari Camp is a game lodge with four classic and luxurious canvas tents, which have been stylishly furnished and combine comfort and beautiful décor with an African romance from a bygone time.

All our tents are fitted with private bathrooms and a viewing deck and all of them offer ultimate privacy. High quality bed linens and towels are provided. Africology amenities complement the bathroom.

Starling tent has a heated plunge pool and an outdoor shower. Oriole tent has a outdoor Jacuzzi.

Facilities

The main lodge has a cosy sitting area and a small bush library where you can read and relax after a game drive. The wooden lounge deck provides a spectacular view of the Drakensberg Mountains and you can stargaze at night. The lodge has a boma firepit and a plunge pool where you can enjoy a refreshing sundowner drink.

Experience

Parsons Hilltop Safari Camp is an unfenced camp and all the animals in the Greater Kruger Park can roam freely around the camp. The camp has two waterholes that are filled up daily and that are lit at night; the animals often come to drink and you are able to capture this spectacular viewing from your own verandah. The camp's highly experienced ranger will take you on a safari by foot or with open vehicle once a day (included in your stay).

Breakfast and Dining

A welcome drink, morning coffee, full breakfast, high tea / lunch or brunch and a 3 course dinner are included in your stay and can be enjoyed at the main lodge.
