Bateleur Bushveld Camp
Johannesburg
Bateleur Bushveld Camp, which borrows its name from the spectacular bird of prey, offers an equally beautiful accommodation option approximately 40 kilometres south west of Shingwedzi. Situated in the northern Mopane / Woodland savannah of the park, the surrounding bushveld is truly beautiful and unique. Bateuleur Camp also has exclusive access to these beautiful dams, and are the perfect escape for guests when the main roads get congested during peak season.
Bateleur also has a fantastic hide overlooking a waterhole just outside the camp, which offers tranquil and thrilling sightings of various wild and birdlife. All of the above combines to make this a truly special camp within the Kruger Park.
