OverviewRooms/RatesArea/MapReviews (0)
The Balule Rest Camp in the world-renowned Kruger National Park is a small satellite camp set deep in the heart of the park, in the most exquisite topography. Named ‘Balule’ after the Tsonga word for the Olifants River, this camp is one of the best places for guests to experience nature first hand. Situated more or less in the centre of the park, just south of Olifants Camp, Balule lies close to the mighty Olifants River.
With only the most basic of facilities and no electricity, a low fence is the only barrier that separates you from the wilderness, resulting in a true back to basics experience. It is this unique wilderness feel of the camp that makes it a firm favourite with backpackers, the caravanning community and other visitors who want to get away from it all.
The camp has a communal kitchen with a scullery, gas stoves and a communal freezer. One ablution block is available. While there is no electricity in the camp, lanterns are provided. Braai facilities are available.
