Honeyguide Tented Safari Camps, Manyeleti Game Reserve, Kruger, South Africa - Explore & Book
"Manyeleti Game Reserve is a 23,000-hectare concession bordering South Africa's famous Kruger National Park. It's prime 'Big 5' country, and because it's private, there are only a handful of jeeps on the prowl at any time. Sightings of lions, buffalo and elephants are near certain, birdlife is rich and colourful, and the guides are extremely knowledgeable. Sightings of other humans, however, are extremely rare. That's because there are only a handful of camps in the reserve, 2 of which are run by Honeyguide. They offer simple but elegant accommodation, one more colonial in style, the other more contemporary. The food is plentiful and tasty, and there's a pool to cool off in between your 2 daily game drives. Or you can take a walking safari - there’s nothing like an encounter with an elephant or lion on foot to get the adrenaline pumping! This is a place to really experience life in the bush, while enjoying comfortable accommodation. Highs Some of the best game drives and close-up animal sightings in South Africa, without the crowds, yet still affordable Experienced, knowledgeable and friendly rangers The thrill of watching elephants stroll past the tent and drink from the swimming pool - the reserve and camps are unfenced so animals roam freely Authentic bush camp experience - Mantobeni Camp feels especially close to nature - it speaks of wild animals and dark nights Khoka Moya Camp is more stylish with larger tents and welcomes children of all ages (most camps don't) Lows Communal dining may be too much if you’ve come for a romantic break, but most enjoy the sociable vibe Solar-powered lamps don’t last all night! Don't expect 5-star luxury - the communal areas and tents are more modest than our other recommended safari lodges in the Kruger Tents can get rather hot in summer (but there are fans) and cold on winter nights (but electric blankets are provided) Watch out for cheeky monkeys around your tent" - Davina Mackail
