Hideaways Amava River Lodge
Safari Camp · 5 rooms
Hideaways Amava River Lodge, previously known as Bundox River Lodge, is nestled on a scenic bend of the Olifants River in the Balule Game Reserve, within the Greater Kruger National Park. This new tented camp offers breathtaking views of the river and its abundant wildlife, providing a tranquil escape into the heart of wild Africa. The camp is raised on wooden walkways, seamlessly blending with its natural surroundings while minimizing environmental impact. It's a mystical haven designed for an unhurried and immersive safari experience.
With just five private safari tents, the lodge ensures an exclusive and uncrowded atmosphere, allowing guests to fully connect with the wilderness. Each tent is elegantly designed with a blend of natural wood, classic canvas, and modern amenities, offering spacious decks that overlook the river. Guests can enjoy the serenity of their private space, with only an imperceptible insect-proof mesh separating them from the wild.
Amava River Lodge is ideally situated in a 5,500-hectare private reserve that shares open borders with Kruger National Park, promising an authentic and immersive safari. The landscape is rich with rugged ridges, boulder koppies, and the scenic Olifants River, as well as unique Mica caves. The lodge encourages a digital detox, providing limited Wi-Fi to foster a deeper connection with nature and the rhythms of the African bush.
