SA: Kruger National Park – Tamboti Camp

October 21, 2017

Our absolute favourite Tented Camp in Kruger - not the least because it is frequented by night visitors: Genet, Hyena and Honey Badgers! Visitors should travel to Orpen Gate to gain access to the camp. Due to the size and location of this camp, Tamboti is one of the most popular camps in the Park. A great feature is a boma, which makes it ideal for small groups of people to gather around the campfire and relive the animal sightings of the day. For the birding enthusiasts, Tamboti offers a bird hide in which to spend hours looking for that exclusive raptor that has up to now eluded you. The natural bush feeling is kept inside the camp, which has the result of emphasising guest privacy.

🙂 Our FAVOURITE! Look out for the evening visitors: Genet, Honey Badger and Hyenas! Rustic at its best. No. 40 is at the end and the BEST.
