THE CAMP & FACILITIES

Accommodation

The Bateleur Eco Safaris camp features 10 East African Safari tents, set along a sandy riverbed, under majestic Apple Leaf, Jackalberry and Tamboti trees.  The tents sleep 2 and if necessary, 3 people each.  Each tent is comfortably furnished with beds (custom-made for taller guests), bedside tables, cotton linen, pillows, towels, blankets, chest of drawers & hanging rail for clothing.  Three tents currently feature en-suite bathrooms and over the next year, bathrooms will be attached to the remaining tents.   

Showers & Ablutions

There are separate ablution facilities, outdoor wash basins and magnificent, open-air bush showers fueled by wood-fires.

Catering

Home style cooking is provided for breakfast, lunch and dinner and special dietary requirements can be catered for by prior arrangement. Guests can enjoy unlimited quantities of tea, coffee, soft drinks, juices and water.  Dinner is served around a camp fire in an open-air boma.

The camp

The camp employs eco-friendly practices, winning the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve Conservation Award in 2006.

Situated in the central part of the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, the camp is unfenced, except for a single strand, high electric wire designed to keep the elephants out.

There is no electricity at the camp. Gas, battery, paraffin and solar power are used.

There is a pool surrounded by a wooden deck, which is great for cooling off after a walk.

Game drives are conducted in green, open Land Rover game-viewers.
