Bateleur Safari Camp - Timbavati Safari Lodges

Bateleur Safari Camp lies in South Africa’s Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, with unfenced borders to Kruger National Park for free wildlife movement. The surrounding wilderness supports the Big Five, many antelope species, smaller predators, and over 500 bird species, set in rolling Lowveld landscapes with Acacia woodlands and riverine forests. All guests receive a safety briefing on arrival to enjoy this untamed environment responsibly.

The camp’s central wooden deck holds the lounge and dining areas and overlooks the riverbed and its seasonal waterhole, offering relaxed game viewing and meals in the bush. A chemical‑free pool extends from the deck, allowing guests to cool off while still watching wildlife. A starlit boma with a central fireplace and an adjacent braai area provide evening gathering spots around the fire.

Accommodating up to 16 guests, the camp features spacious safari units with thatched roofs, canvas walls, en‑suite bathrooms, comfy beds, mosquito nets, solar‑powered fans and lamps, storage, safes, and plug points for charging. Bathrooms include flush toilets, basins, and hot‑water showers, with some units adding an interior bath and private outdoor shower.

Bateleur Safari Camp

Do you want to go for a long walk? Wherever you wish to go, the guides will take you there. They will drive till the cubs can be viewed (or have run out of options) if you like to go to an adjacent property to verify the lion cub rumours. Additionally, guides will get in the open safari car and transport you, day or night, if they happen to listen during supper for sounds of a fight or other fascinating wildlife activity. To put it briefly, the staff goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. And they are prepared to fulfil this promise thanks to a few special selling features.
Since we can guarantee that the solar-powered camp has all the amenities you require—tents with comfortable mattresses, indoor and outdoor bathrooms (one tent even has a bathtub), a chemical-free swimming pool, and a nice boma for home-cooked meals.
There are loads of different animals species to look for, including the Big Five and Small Five.
No Children under 6 allowed unless the lodge is booked on an exclusive basis.
