Introducing Fiume Bush Camp

This exceptional addition stands out for its deep cultural significance and its commitment to preserving the heritage of the San Bushmen. To our knowledge and experience, Fiume Bush Camp is one of the very few places in Namibia where guests can engage with an authentic Bushmen village and community.

Located 75 km north‑east of Grootfontein, Fiume Bush Camp is easily accessible via the D2844 from the Berg Aukas turnoff. The camp offers a rustic yet comfortable atmosphere, with stone chalets that blend naturally into the surrounding environment. Guests enjoy a simplified, close‑to‑nature accommodation experience with essential amenities. Stays are offered on a fully inclusive basis, featuring wholesome meals, a curated selection of quality beverages, and warm hospitality shared around the fire pit.

Community & Culture

Fiume Bush Camp is home to a small San Bushmen community belonging to the Ju/Hansi tribe. This close-knit family group—parents, children, and extended relatives—has chosen to safeguard their ancient traditions while thoughtfully integrating aspects of modern life.

While San communities no longer live as hunter‑gatherers as they did centuries ago, the camp provides a rare environment where cultural practices are preserved with dignity. Unlike living museums situated near shanty towns—where poverty, unemployment, and alcoholism often overshadow heritage—the San at Fiume Bush Camp live freely, safely, and with the autonomy to share their culture on their own terms.

Authentic Guest Experience

Visitors to Fiume Bush Camp are invited to immerse themselves in the living traditions of the San. Guests can:

• Spend a full day alongside the community
• Learn bush craft and survival skills from those who have mastered them
• Gain insight into the balance between a simple lifestyle and the complexities of cultural preservation in a modern world

This is an experience rooted in respect, authenticity, and meaningful cultural exchange.

A Proud Partnership

Their enthusiasm to share their heritage makes Fiume Bush Camp a standout addition to our portfolio and a valuable contribution to authentic Namibian tourism.

We look forward to welcoming guests to this extraordinary destination and strengthening our shared commitment to cultural preservation and responsible tourism.
