Koru Camp provides a highly conducive learning environment where our students can completely immerse themselves in nature and connect with the fundamental building blocks of our planet. The high-quality facilities, passionate staff, and pristine wilderness of the camp ensures that the learners are truly transformed through their time in the bush. Koru Camp has been the missing puzzle piece in environmental education, allowing children to see wildlife with their own eyes; returning to their communities with inspiring stories and seeing themselves as an integral part of our precious ecosystem.

Education meets adventure! We loved the concept right from the start. It’s truly an inspiring journey that takes our learners beyond the classroom and into the heart of nature’s wonders. We couldn’t think of a better way to awaken curiosity, ignite passion, and foster deep connections to nature. We are grateful for this amazing initiative and partnership with Koru Camp.

Koru Camp offers a fantastic experience. The guided game drives, the delicious food, the comfortable accommodation: all add up to offer the most amazing bush destination.

Our two-night stay at Koru Camp completely exceeded all our expectations. Everything was so well planned and organised, from the education to the delicious food, the tented accommodation and spotlessly clean ablutions, not to mention the game drives. Joel, Dineo, and Tinyiko could not have provided us with any more. It will be an experience that our eight youngsters from Mohlanatsi Rural Development Programme in Selwane will never forget.

Koru Camp is the ultimate learning experience for young, nature-inspired minds. Every visit captivates the hearts of our Timbavati Eco Champs, leaving them longing for a return. The guides and educators are knowledgeable, the food is delicious, and the experience is out of this world. We are so fortunate to have the facilitie available for our learners. Thank you Koru Camp!

Koru Camp has offered our Ndlopfu Gogos the critical time to be embedded in nature, in a beautiful way. The comfortable, yet wild and simplistic, camp has become a delight to many a gogo. We are grateful to the incredible team on the ground who welcomed us all into their lives and space. Koru has unlocked the gogos' storytelling abilities, which has had a positive ripple effect throughout their communities.

The experience at Koru Camp was absolutely amazing! The Koru Camp team went out of their way to ensure all our learners had a memorable experience. I will recommend Koru Camp for any group of learners, to learn about the bush and create wonderful memories under the magnificent African sky.

Koru Camp is a place where education intertwines with exploration, and lifetime connections to nature are made. With our mission to bring communities and nature together, we couldn’t ask for a more perfect partner. Koru Camp is not only changing the lives of young South Africans but they’re also changing the face of conservation for the better.

Koru Camp provides each and every learner the opportunity to engage with nature outside of the classroom. The comfortable and incredibly well kept camp offers each group a safe place to learn and immerse themselves in the wildness around them. From the delicious meals, the engaging conservation-focused lessons and game drives, to the stories told around the fire, Joel, Dineo and Tinyiko go above and beyond every time.

I can’t express how much I love the programme and concept you provide at Koru Camp, this has been my dream to provide such an all-round educational opportunity for children, not just a trip to Kruger, but true education, and I feel that your programme is such a dream for me to find and extend to so many more kids.

Creating love, respect and appreciation for all animals starts with how we treat the animals around us every day. With education and the opportunity to experience the wonders of nature and the animal kingdom around us, we can inspire more animal lovers and nature enthusiasts, and create the protectors of the future. Together we can make a difference.

The experience at Koru Camp was truly outstanding. The children were not only having a great time but also learning a great deal about the environment. Joel's exceptional leadership with the kids was remarkable, and all the other staff members were incredibly warm and welcoming. Personally, I found the game drives thrilling, and the food was absolutely delicious. The experience was enjoyable and educational for all. I absolutely adored it!

Koru Camp provided an enriching experience for our environmental education facilitators, fostering a profound connection with the environment. Their time at the camp not only equipped them with new knowledge but also rekindled their passion for the natural world. The highlight of our stay was delving into the traditional uses and medicinal properties of the indigenous plants in the surroundings. It was a truly unforgettable and transformative experience.

As a NGO, we are deeply grateful for the invaluable work you do in making the bush experience accessible to groups who may not have had the opportunity otherwise. Your dedication to providing immersive nature experiences is truly commendable and has a profound impact on the lives of those you reach. Witnessing moments like a pride of 10 lions during our game drive was absolutely magical. Thank you for your commitment to changing lives and fostering a deeper connection with nature.

The camp established the essence of genuine exploration and connection with nature. Within minutes, all the participants expressed feeling warmly welcomed and secure, truly at ease and experiencing a sense of rejuvenation unlike any they had felt before.

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Koru Camp for the exceptional hospitality and service we received during our stakeholders workshop. Every aspect of our stay was impeccable, from the attentive kitchen staff and delightful meals to the well-maintained rooms and exhilarating game drives. Our stakeholders were thoroughly impressed by the level of service provided. A special thank you to Tinyiko and Sonto for the delicious meals that truly delighted our palate, and to Bongani for the unforgettable game sightings. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Koru Camp and eagerly anticipate our next visit.

At Ditoro Outreach, we had the privilege of visiting Koru Camp, where we shared an unforgettable experience with the dedicated Koru Camp team. For many of our newest Ditoro members, it was their first time on a game drive—a moment that can change perspectives. My own first game drive at the age of 12 ignited my passion to become a guide. Today, I am honoured to be part of a journey that empowers our local communities in their pursuit of becoming field guides and ambassadors of our heritage. Remember, one small action can create a profound impact. Let us support one another and unite for a more inclusive future, where nature and communities coexist in peace and harmony.
