The Bundi Lodge and Camp is situated on the banks of the mighty Gariep. The lodge is located in the old River Rafters base camp which was used in the pioneering days to explore the Orange River Rafting and canoeing route that is now used through the Richtersveldt.

The old River Runners camp was converted for the day to day running of river rafting and The River Rafters camp was converted into a lodge. As the lodge is built into a hill, it lends itself to spectacular views of the Orange River.

This beautiful setting on the magnificent Orange River is 10km’s from the Namibian border (Noordoewer / Vioolsdrift) on the N7 from Cape Town to Windhoek. We are situated 680km’s due north from Cape Town and 1300km’s from Johannesburg.

The lodge is limited to 9 en-suite rooms, 5 campsites, ablutions, communal kitchen and lounge, laundry and a big recreational hall. Not to mention the big lawns where kids can play. We use the river to cool down on the hot summer days.

Bundi offers you accommodation for an outdoor holiday experience or weekend breakaway with the ambiance of a beautiful river setting. Explore the magic of Southern Namibia’s semi – desert, fauna and flora. Please view our activities page as to what can be done with our camp as base.

The Richtersveldt National Park semi desert, through which the river runs, is one of the largest mountain deserts in the world. Over 50% of the plants here are endemic and support fascinating and a wide variety of animal and insect life. The banks are lined with Willow and Ebony trees which provide shade and shelter, forming an oasis green band of life through the orange splendor of this semi-desert.

The Fish Eagle shows its majesty as it soars high above the rolling waters the sound of its call heard from a distance, while the Goliath Heron with its 6-7 foot wingspan eases its way from the river’s edge. Not to mention the green brilliance of the Malachite Kingfisher as he dives between the river and trees.

All this can be explored from the comfort of our well situated lodge.
