2026 will be the 29th year of Monty Brett’s iconic event in the African bush, with Dr Richard Cοck conducting our 17-piece Orchestra. Every year is exceptional in its own right, and this year promises to be another epic experience.
Enjoy five Baroque music concerts over three days, featuring the greatest of the Baroque composers, including Bach, Handel, Vivaldi and others. Richard’s Musical Conversations, and the laugh-a-minute ice-breaker Quiz will keep you entertained. And there’s plenty of time for you to go out on game drives and explore the area.
Shingwedzi Camp is such a great venue. Our concert hall is the restaurant lapa overlooking the river-bed, where elephants and other game wander past, often pausing to listen to the music. Open-air buffet dinners are served each evening at the picnic area, beautifully lit and decorated by the catering staff.
September is sublime in Kruger – the days are warm enough for an afternoon laze by the pool, the evenings are crisp and star-studded, the trees are budding, and sometimes we’re lucky enough to get a rainstorm.
All in all, Baroque in the Bush is a unique and extraordinary way to experience the beauty of the African bush.
