Description:
Situated in South
Africa’s Limpopo Province, approximately 60km's from the
town of Tzaneen is the SanWild
Wildlife Sanctuary. SanWild’s exclusive Savannah
Private Bush Camp has been named after a female leopard
rescued in 2003 after hunters trapped her illegally for
a canned hunt.
The 6000 hectare SanWild Wildlife Sanctuary has
introduced numerous rescued and rehabilitated wild
animals including impala, kudu, blue wildebeest, red
hartebeest, waterbuck, common and mountain reedbuck,
grey duiker, nyala, giraffe, zebras, steenbok, rhinos,
hippos and elephants. Some very elusive and rare
creatures like pangolin and aardvark have also chosen of
their own accord to make this protected reserve their
home.
Wild leopard and cheetahs roam freely and a pack of
rescued African Wild Dogs will be introduced shortly.
Many small predators like serval, caracal and civets can
also be seen in the reserve and the Sanctuary’s large
predator Cats’ Rescue centre is home to 19 lions rescued
from South Africa’s sordid canned lion breeding and
hunting industry.
Accommodation
The stylish Savannah Private Bush Camp consists of four
luxury chalets with en-suite bathrooms and thatched
roofs. Each Luxury chalet sleeps 2 although more beds
can be added for parents who want to keep an eye on
their little ones. Satellite television is available in
all the chalets.
The central facility is set in beautiful gardens with a
rock pool where guests can escape the heat while keeping
a close eye on a wide variety of wild animals drinking
from the waterhole a mere 80 meters away. The camp is
completely fenced to keep out SanWild’s large wild
animals like elephants, rhinos and hippos.
Facilities
A resident chef prepares scrumptious meals that are
served in the dinning room cum lounge that has a huge
fireplace for those cold rainy days. A veranda under
thatch leads off to the dinning room and includes a
small pub where guests can relax or socialize during the
day. Some evenings are spent in the open-air boma area
where meals can be prepared next to a campfire.
A maximum of eight people are accommodated in the
Savannah Private Bush Camp at any given time. The camp
is also available to groups or for corporate bookings.
Activities
Guided eco-ranger walking trails are done very early
every morning along with morning and afternoon game
drives. Night drives are done by special arrangement.
Optional day or over-night trips to other tourist
destinations such as the world famous Kruger National
Park including the Elephant Museum, Mojadji Cycad
Reserve, Mac-Mac Falls, Blyde River Canyon, Eco-Caves,
Bourke's Luck Potholes, God Window, the Pinnacle, Cherry
gardens or local tea and coffee plantations can be
arranged. We do also, by prior arrangement, arrange
helicopter flips to Blyde River Canyon.
Wildlife
Rehabilitation & Rescue
Profits generated from the Savannah Private Bush Camp
are applied on an equal basis to animal emergency
rescues, resource management and the running of the
wildlife rehabilitation centre.
