Bateleur Bushveld Camp

[Sprocky]

Ooh! The Dimwits are also there in October, Sprocks!

You can't be serious!!!!

I'll only be there for one night.

[Richprins]

Us too!

[Sprocky]

Please tell me that you're not booked there for the 21st....

[Richprins]

No!Whew!

Right, got round to some pics:

A 6-sleeper, two double rooms with one shared bathroom

And one double bed room with en-suite bathroom and aircon!







Spacious shady verandah indeed, with all cooking stuff!

How many huts are there in the camp?

[Richprins]

Dunno, Flutts? About 10 divided between 4 and 6 bed?


Seems the huts have bird names:

The conference centre, airconned and also near the hide!

The camp was built in the early 1980's, as an initial experiment on a slightly different tangent to the Donor camps like Sirheni. The location has a lot to do with the powerline going to Shingwedzi, IMO, as it is one of the few bushveld camps with aircon, hence the conference facility added on. Found out President Mbeki was fond of the place and used it a couple of times!

Flutters, there are 3 x 6 bed units and 4 x 4 bed units.

RP, that totals 7, not 10.

Stunning arithmetic, Sprockwit!
