Experience the peaceful and serene surroundings of the Bushveld Bivouac Retreat, a fully equipped, self-catering chalet located on a 300-hectare farm in the Greater Kruger region. This off-the-grid retreat allows one to disconnect from one's busy life and reconnect with nature. With top-notch service and facilities, your stay at The Retreat at Bushveld Bivouac promises to be a rejuvenating and memorable one.
Bushveld Bivouac Retreat, exquisitely decorated in greens to match the surrounds, accommodates two guests in a queen-size bed, and camp bed options for children under 14 (at an additional cost and request). Lose yourself in the symphony of birds, explore well-indicated trails, or unwind by your private plunge pool amidst the unmistakable scent of the African bush. The chalet offers WiFi, a dining/work area, a fully equipped kitchenette, a quaint porch with outdoor furniture and a fire pit, consistently blending the thrill of the bush with modern comfort.
Situated between Hoedspruit and Phalaborwa, Bushveld Bivouac serves as a gateway to the renowned Kruger Park in South Africa. The farm, ideal for walking and cycling, features trails and gravel roads, offering safe exploration. Witness the captivating convergence of the Blyde River and Treur River at Bourke’s Luck Potholes, surrounded by the breathtaking Blyde River Canyon, ‘Three Rondavels,’ and the ‘Pinnacle.’
Embracing conservation and safety, Bushveld Bivouac encourages guests to respect the bush while encountering plains game and relishing the beauty and peacefulness of this unique African landscape. The Retreat promises an enjoyable and comfortable bush experience, where guests can self-cater or opt for additional services, including pre-cooked meals and pre-shopping for a hassle-free stay amidst the vibrant flora and fauna of the South African bush.

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.
