Amazing support and advice from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble.
Kruger Untamed Tshokwane River Camp is the smaller of the group's two seasonal tented lodges, set beneath big trees beside the Ripape River, a few kilometres from the Tshokwane picnic site in the central Kruger. It opens from May to September and is taken down at the end of each season.
Its 20 canvas suites each have a covered verandah, a queen bed that converts to twins, a dressing room that takes two single beds and an en suite bathroom with a bush shower filled with hot water twice a day. Each day you choose between two game drives or a guided walking safari with an armed ranger, including tracking on foot.
The lounge spreads out across the dry riverbed, with gazebos, hanging chairs, a pool and a fire pit for the evenings. Game viewing here is strong all year, with lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog and spotted hyena all found in the area.
