Ndzuti Tented Camp

Welcome to nDzuti Tented Bush Camp, your gateway to an authentic and affordable safari experience in the heart of Greater Kruger. Immerse yourself in the untamed beauty of the Balule Game Reserve, where nDzuti stands as a testament to the pioneering spirit of Bruce and Judy Meeser, veterans in the safari game since the 1980s.

Our unfenced tented bush camp, nestled in the Balule Nature Reserve, offers an intimate connection with the wild. Wake up to the sight of animals quenching their thirst at the waterhole from the deck of your tent. Indulge in the luxury of a private outdoor shower under the trees and rest in the comfort of beds adorned with feel-good linen. The camp, with its 4 tents overlooking the waterhole, creates a tranquil atmosphere surrounded by iconic trees like baobab and fever trees.

Owned and managed by Bruce and Judy, who have been integral to the safari landscape's evolution, nDzuti Tented Bush Camp is more than just accommodation – it's a journey through decades of commitment to conservation. From their early days in Thornybush Game Reserve to their involvement in community-driven initiatives in the Maseke Game Reserve, the owners have left an indelible mark on the region.

Embark on thrilling game drives and walks with our experienced guides, exploring the diverse landscapes of the 12,000-hectare Balule Game Reserve. Witness the daily dramas of wildlife in their natural habitat, with the possibility of encountering the majestic Big Five. Our commitment to responsible tourism means we strive to minimize environmental impact, avoiding off-road driving whenever possible.

At nDzuti Tented Bush Camp, your day begins with dawn game drives, where a quick cup of coffee or tea precedes a journey into the heart of the African Bushveld. In the afternoon, indulge in the safari tradition of a sundowner stop, toasting the setting sun with a refreshing drink and snacks. For those seeking a different adventure, opt for a guided walk, immersing yourself in the smaller, fascinating aspects of the bush.

The Balule Nature Reserve, part of the Greater Kruger Park, is a treasure trove of biodiversity, from thick mopane woodlands to rocky outcrops and Olifants River frontage. The Maseke section, owned by a local Sotho community, is renowned for regular lion sightings and frequent visits by elephants. The diverse ecosystem includes giraffes, zebras, and a myriad of other species, providing a snapshot of the iconic Greater Kruger wilderness.
