Parsons Hilltop Safari Camp was founded in 2019, after the owners bought the intimate hideaway on the Hilltop in 2018, indecisive at the time of what to exactly do with this stunning place. ​When the plan was created to open a safari camp for guests, the mission was clear: to offer guests exactly the class of hospitality that we would like to receive ourselves, offering excellent service and quality with always including an element of surprise.

 

Being small and authentic, we managed to maintain the character of a real bush retreat and our approach of luxury tents in an authentic bush ambiance turned out to be one of the main reasons why guests choose us. What started as a single intimate hideaway has now evolved into a unique collection of experiences with the addition of Parsons House and River Camp.

​

The introduction of Parsons House adds a new layer of exclusivity and privacy for guests, offering a serene retreat that blends seamlessly with the surrounding bushveld. Ideal for families or small groups seeking their own slice of wilderness. River Camp, on the other hand, gets you right up close to the action by the water’s edge. Imagine relaxing by the river, spotting wildlife as they come down to drink, all while enjoying the warm, personal hospitality that Parsons is known for.
