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.
