Bateleur Eco safari (BES) is an activity-based, tented bush camp situated in the heart of Big 5 territory in South Africa’s Timbavati Private Nature Reserve. Forming a part of the Greater Kruger National Park, all artificial barriers between the reserves have been removed, allowing the wildlife to roam free. As a result, there are plentiful sightings of lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, rhino, cheetah, a large variety of antelope and 350 bird species.
Highly experienced guides conduct daily bush walks, which teach guests to track large game on foot and provide a fascinating insight into animal behavior, as well as the world of birds, plants and insects. To ensure an authentic wildlife experience, BES exposes guests to a variety of activities such as bushcraft and survival skills, bringing them closer to nature than ever before.
Each visiting group enjoys a private safari, with exclusive use of the camp and its relaxed, informal atmosphere. The absence of electricity, mobile phone signals and strict schedules allows guests to take advantage of adventures that present themselves at a moment’s notice. The open-air showers and outdoor washbasins allow camp occupants to stare at a million stars, or simply enjoy the vast expanse of pure wilderness, while washing their cares away.
