"beating a new rythym through Africa"

our history

WWS successfully bid to run Madisa Camp in 2014 as a Tourism Operation in conjunction with the Sorris Sorris Conservancy, Claire Whipp, the director of WWS immediately set to work to build the beautiful camp we now know as Madisa. First came the famous round rock pool renovation, completed in 2014.

The Overland camping area and the shared ablution was completed in 2015. The Private campsites with their unique “bathrooms on stilts”, shaded by large Mopane trees, were re-done in 2016. The natural next step was to start construction of the unique safari tents. Today we have 5 Double and 3 Family Safari Tents with open air bathrooms.
