Bushveld Bivouac is a captivating self-catering, fully serviced, off-the-grid bush camp situated on a 300-hectare farm reserve in the Greater Kruger region. Redefining a glamping safari, Bushveld Bivouac's four spectacular tented platforms on a hill called Phezulu offer a unique combination of luxury and bushveld charm. Get up close and personal with the pristine surroundings in these spacious tents with top-to-bottom windows and easily rolled-up sides, providing uninterrupted views from every corner for a private, open-air bush experience.
Accommodating two guests, all tents feature either separate single beds or a decadent king-size bed. Children under 14 can be accommodated on camp beds.

Each tent offers WiFi, private bathrooms, kitchens, plunge pools, and fire pits, allowing you to embrace the bush without compromising on comfort. All are magnificently beautiful, but the Seringa Honeymoon Suite with its romantic outdoor bath overlooking the GaMashishimale Hills, makes for a truly special spoil.

Access on the farm is via gravel roads. We recommend you bring a 2x4 or 4x4, however, compact twowheel drive cars can access the various units under most conditions. We suggest that you do not arrive with any low riding sports cars as they do not have the clearance to drive on the gravel roads.
Please call 30 minutes prior to arrival to ensure someone can meet you at the gate and you are not left waiting.

Definitely! One activity that Bushveld Bivouacs boasts is that guests are able to walk, jog or trail bike on their prepared trails or roads, most of which have a place to sit in the shade if you should want to rest and soak up your surrounds.
Yes, there is malaria in the region, but Hoedspruit is considered a low-risk zone. Mosquito repellent is provided in each bedroom tent and the camp suggests long sleeves and trousers at dawn and dusk. If you are concerned, please speak to a doctor about a prophylactic prescription.
Alternative catering options are available at the camp. They have a delectable choice of breakfast, snack and braai picnic baskets as well as pre-prepared meals for an added cost. All of these options will need to be booked in advance, because ordering on the day may result in disappointment.
A laundry service is offered for an extra fee. However, all areas of the tent sites will be cleaned daily according to a schedule of a start time of 10.00am, unless guests have specific requests which we will try to accommodate.
The main road from gate to camp is navigable by 2-wheel sedan cars, with sufficient clearance, in the dry season. If there is a personal worry about negotiating the roads there is undercover parking near the gate and the Duty Manager will gladly take you up to your suite.
