Activities

Things to do at Bushveld Bivouac

At Bushveld Bivouac, we celebrate freedom amongst the wild - an invitation to truly connect with nature on your own terms. Here, you set the pace. Wander along our trails, cycle through the bush, or simply sit beneath the trees and listen to the rhythm of the wild. No strict schedules, no crowds - just the open bushveld and the freedom to explore it your way. For those who prefer company, guided walks are always available, but the real magic lies in discovering nature at your own leisure, as it was meant to be experienced.

Take a book and something to drink and head for The Hide at the waterhole to watch the (animal) world go by. See how many of the bird calls from the birds on our bird list, or plants and animals you can identify – and we’ll be delighted to hear of any new sightings or callings to add to the collection. Please remember, however, that while we walk and cycle here daily, this is a bush environment and must be treated with the respect it deserves.

Guided and birding walks

Walks on the reserve with a fully qualified professional guide can be arranged but must be booked when reserving your stay and paid in advance.

Spa treatments

Hoedspruit and the surrounding area offer several world-class spas. Treatments can also be arranged in the privacy of your own deck should you prefer. Treatments are dependent on availability & must be booked a minimum of 5 days in advance.

Game drives

Game drives on our reserve can be pre-booked and are an additional cost per person including refreshments. We will also be delighted to arrange for day trips to the nearby Kruger Park with a reputable local guide.
