About Amanzimlotzi Riverside Bush Camp
Amanzimlotzi Riverside Bush Camp is a bush camp in the Greater Kruger Park on the Klaserie River, 46 km from Orpen Gate and 35km from Hoedspruit.
We offer no luxuries, except the unbelievable night skies with no light or air pollution and free sounds of the wild most nights; the roar of lions and quite regularly leopards, the howling of hyenas, the chattering of monkeys that will try to steal all your food if you allow them and above all... deafening silence.
