About the Camp
nThambo Tree Camp has only 5 chalets that sleep 2 people each, which creates an intimate and personal safari experience.
The chalets are raised on wooden stilts and the floor is made from wooden decking. The walls are canvas and the roof is thatched; completing one of the most unique safari accommodation options in the Kruger. In addition, each chalet has a veranda, which overlooks the endless plains in front of the camp with views of the Drakensberg mountain range in the distance. All chalets are ensuite with a shower and toilet. None of the chalets have baths, only showers. Lighting is provided via solar power and a plug point in each chalet is available for guests to charge their camera batteries.
The nThambo Tree Camp facilities include a main area, which houses a comfortable lounge and bar under thatch. The dining room, which has a large table and a wine rack, and is located next to the open-air boma fireplace, perfect for evening drinks around the fire. In addition, guests will experience a traditional South African braaivleis cooked over the open fire. To truly immerse yourself in the rustic bush experience, the main area is lit with lanterns while plug points in the chalets can be used to charge your camera batteries. There is also wifi available in the lounge and bar area. During the hot summer months, guests can relax around the splash pool - don't be surprised if there is a herd of elephants approaching to drink the water!
The activities are conducted by excellent guides and Shangaan trackers in the mornings and evenings. Night drives are also an option for those who want to see the nocturnal wildlife, while optional bush walks can be arranged too. The Southern Klaserie is home to all the large animals that many people wish to see on safari, including the Big 5, giraffe, hyena and many antelope and bird species.
