Stayed at: Bateleur Safari Camp
Trip of a lifetime
We saw the “Big 5” and most of the rest of the animals in the area, but what made this a special safari was the people working at Bateleur Safari Camp. Everyone was not only great at their job they all seemed to really be invested in what they were doing as a life style.

Accommodation Description
Bateleur Safari Camp is located in the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, a world-renowned wildlife destination in South Africa that sits adjacent to the Kruger National Park. Accommodating up to 16 guests, Bateleur Safari Camp is an eco-friendly camp ideal for those looking for a more authentic, under-canvas experience in South Africa. The camp's central lounge and dining area features an open-sided wooden deck that overlooks the riverbed, where elephants, buffalo and giraffes can often be seen.
Guests can enjoy numerous activities when visiting Bateleur Safari Camp, including thrilling game drives to witness the majestic wildlife, guided bush walks to explore the surroundings on foot, and birdwatching to spot a variety of avian species. Relax by the camp's swimming pool or unwind with a sundowner while admiring the breathtaking African sunset, or experience the local culture by visiting nearby communities and gain insights into their way of life. Finally, savor delicious meals and enjoy evenings around the campfire, sharing stories and experiences with fellow guests.
Setting Description
Bateleur Safari Camp is located within the Timbavati – a renowned private reserve that forms part of the Greater Kruger. There are no fences between the Timbavati and the Kruger National Park, allowing animals to roam freely between the two parks. This prime wilderness area is home to the Big Five as well as a large diversity of animal and bird species, providing an exceptional safari experience. Guests have the opportunity to explore the Timbavati by 4x4 or on foot, and very rarely will they be disturbed by other vehicles during their stay!
The encounters this area affords with wildlife are so remarkable that they are nearly beyond adequate description. It secures a prominent spot among Africa's premier wildlife destinations. Exploring the Greater Kruger Park through safaris opens doors to an extraordinary array of opulent game lodges, immersive safaris, engaging activities, and guided tours, all converging to craft an extraordinarily unforgettable wildlife experience.

Birding
When designing and building Bateleur Safari Camp, it was a priority to make as small a footprint as possible. Tented walls were chosen over concrete structures, allowing guests inside the units a closer interaction with the outdoors.
No trees were removed during the building process, allowing the camp to unobtrusively blend into the surrounds. Literally hundreds of trees have subsequently been planted in and around the camp.
Regular 4-legged visitors that can be seen walking within the camp perimeter during the day include nyalas, warthogs and bushbuck. Elephants and buffalo can often be seen walking through the river bed in front of the camp. And at night, anything shorter than an adult elephant can, and often does, walk through the camp under the cover of darkness.

Guided activities take place every morning at sunrise and every afternoon-evening from mid-afternoon, all under the watchful guidance of qualified and armed safari guides. All guided activities are undertaken on a consultative basis as we do not believe in sticking to a rigid one-size-fits-all approach.
The experienced guides tap into their intimate knowledge of local wildlife and weather conditions and discuss the various options with the guests.
Taking into account people’s differing interests and energy-levels, the guides tailor the bush activities to best accommodate everyone’s preferences.
