Experience the true magic of the African bush at Bateleur Safari Camp. Designed to blend in with the wilderness, this luxurious tented camp is found in the Timbavati Private Game Reserve, in the heart of Big 5 country. The camp has been designed and constructed in such a way as to have minimal impact on the environment, and features eco-friendly facilities and amenities. The comfortable safari tents are spacious and airy, the canvas walls and roll-up flaps inviting the outdoors in. En-suite bathrooms, large beds with quality linen, and private decks that look out onto the bushveld make your tented room your own personal oasis in the wilderness. The main section of the camp is ideal for relaxing in between the guided activities on offer. Take a dip in the pool, sip on a drink from the bar, or relax with a book from the library, all while enjoying the views of the river and waterhole in front of the camp. The campfire area is a wonderful place to be at night, under the stars, surrounded by the bush, swapping stories with fellow guests and enjoying a delicious meal prepared by the chef.
The game-viewing is superb at Bateleur- it boasts regular sightings of the Big 5. Enjoy a traditional gamed drive safari in an open safari vehicle- or awaken your adventurous side by going on a guided bush walk, a truly unique and thrilling experience.
