Timbavati Private Nature Reserve

A paradise in the wild, Bateleur Wilderness Safaris is committed to fostering a spirit of connectedness between man and the South Africa bush by providing every visitor with new experiences and memories to last a lifetime. Guests experience the thrill of big game roaming free, a myriad of bird and plant species and magnificent, untamed landscapes.

The ever-present contrasts in the bush promise that no two journeys to the camp are ever the same. A host of activities can be undertaken and at the end of a fun-filled day, guests can relax and enjoy the camp’s original recipe, elephant dung tea.

The laid-back ambience offers freedom from the grind of daily life, but guests are asked to visit the area at their own risk. BWS takes no responsibility for any visitors who decide they never want to go back home.

Visiting groups have exclusive use of the camp and the absence of electricity, mobile phone signal and strict schedules allow guests to truly enjoy the adventures that unfold each day. BWS makes a point of involving guests in activities that bring them much closer to the bush and its magnificent creatures such as: Tracking; Bushcraft; Walks and drives; Rifle craft; Animals, Birds & Insects; Plants & their Uses; Navigation; Astronomy; Game-capture in association with the vets in the area (Elephant/Rhino/Lion)

The Bateleur Wilderness Safaris campsite is situated in the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, Limpopo Province and shares an unfenced border with the Kruger National Park. It features a vast expanse of pristine wilderness which forms the largest “open system” in South Africa, as all artificial barriers have been removed from the region. The indigenous wildlife can now roam free and traverse their ancestral migratory routes totally unhindered. Game can be viewed from open vehicles, on foot or from the comfort of the BWS tented accommodation and this includes the Big Five, endangered species such as cheetah and wild dog, herds of wildebeest, zebras and giraffes, a variety of antelope, profuse bird life, small mammals, reptiles, tortoises and countless insects.

The camp is set under the canopy of large broad rimmed African Ebony trees on the banks of the Nchlaralumi River. Accommodation is in East African Safari Tents - fully equipped with beds, linen, pillows, blankets and towels. Hot, running water, outdoor showers and ablution facilities are available.

Evenings are spent in an open-air boma, sitting around a campfire and sharing the day’s events. The whooping call of the hyena, piercing call of the jackal and thunderous roar of the lion are common sounds that punctuate the night.

Malaria Prophylaxis is recommended. It is not advisable to bring children younger than 6 to the camp.
