Booked for 5-10 December. First visit to Tamboti, requested 22 or else 21. Excited!
22 is the Best and only 100 metres from the Loo

Thanks everyone!
We are bush people, bit worried about containing my 3 kids in leopard area
Anyway, compared to other camps, does the bush tents have basic cutlery etc?

No Bring your own Cutlery etc >> How old are the Kids >> best over 10 but then all Camps have leopards and no Kids have ever been harmed at Tamboti. All you have to do is NOT report a sighting IF you are lucky enough to see one >> I have seen 2 since the camp started. If you do report it that leopard will be shot = official policy >> Human lives Rule supreme no matter that its the Leopards home and we are visitors

Also bring Padlocks with as there is a Cage to lock up the Fridge and your Food as the Baboons are bad there thanks to the irresponsible among us. Also a few towels etc to actually cover your items to reduce temptation. Never leave any Food including Meds IN the tent and close all windows all 3 layers. The inner canvas, the Fly screen and the outer canvas otherwise its an invitation to 'View your House' with smelly consequences. Also put your trash Bag in the boot of your car at night before bed as the Honey Badgers will Trash your area. Bokkie enjoy Tamboti its a GREAT camp hope you get tent 22 >> I am green with envy

While sitting at Tamboti, Kruger put up a show with a visit from a Large spotted genet and a honey badger that stole our dinner
