3 DAY PRIVATE RESERVE BUSH CAMP SAFARI

PRIVATE RESERVE

As an alternative to staying in the National Parks rest camps or as an add , African Budget Safaris in partnership with its local partner, offer exclusive camping safaris in the privately owned concessions of the Balule Private Game Reserve. The Balule Game Reserve forms part of the Greater Kruger National Park and it is important to note that there are no fences separating the two reserves

The Balule Game Reserve has only recently been developed and has already become one of the rising stars amongst the Big Five private reserves adjacent to the Kruger Park.

Balule presently forms the western boundary of the largest game reserve in the world : the Transfrontier Limpopo Game Reserve which includes game reserves in Mozambique and Zimbabwe. The Balule Reserve is about 45 000 ha in extent and straddles both sides of the mighty Olifants River. The name " Balule " is the local Shangaan word for " Buffalo" and the resident herds are often seen.

The Bush Camp consists of spacious 2 man dome tents which are equipped with spotless camping mattresses, sleeping bags and pillows. The Bush Camp boasts a viewing deck which overlooks a floodlit water hole, a small swimming pool and a bush boma where you dine under the African night sky. The camp is fenced for your protection and guides and camp staff are never too far away to assist you in any way. Activities at the Bush Camp include invigorating bush walks and morning and night drives in specially designed safari vehicles.
