    Overview

    Eagle Owl Camp is a luxury private self-catering camp overlooking the banks of the Machatane River located in the Timbavati Private Game Reserve. The lodge is surrounded by large indigenous Apple Leaf and Bush Willow trees, which allows for spectacular birdlife viewing. The Machatane Riverbed also acts as a bush hideaway bringing amazing animal sightings from the safety of the camp. Whether it be a family holiday or a corporate week away, Eagle Owl is an ideal place for your own private bush experience.

    The 4 luxury en-suite chalets each boast their own private decks. Enjoy a fully equipped open plan kitchen, bar & lounge with a TV as well as an outside fire pit which overlooks the river. At the end of the day relax in the enclosed boma area chatting the night away with fellow guests about the day’s sightings.

    With a focus on eco-tourism, the power supply at Eagle Owl Camp is strictly solar and there are only high-speed fans, no air conditioners.

    The camp is self-catering however guests may order groceries and beverages from the Hoedspruit PicknPay which can then be delivered to the camp. Alternatively, a chef can be hired to prepare meals. These catering options are at an additional cost and must be booked/ordered in advance.

    Guests are welcome to enjoy two game drives daily, with either a morning coffee stop or sunset drinks stop, plus optional bushwalks with a qualified Guide and Tracker. Take a day excursion to the Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre, Timbavati Museum or the Kapama Cheetah Project. With traversing rights on 12000 hectares of prime game area with regular sightings of Lion, Buffalo, Elephant, Leopard, Rhino and general game the sightings seen in one day are extraordinary.

    About The Timbavati Private Nature Reserve

    The Timbavati lies within the Savanna Biome of South Africa. This biome covers 32% of the country. The savanna is classified as a vegetation type consisting of both a tree and a grass layer, with complex interactions between these two structural layers.

    Timbavati Nature Reserve shares a common unfenced border with the Kruger National Park allowing animals free-range and ensuring guests to the area the opportunity to view the greatest diversity of wildlife that Africa has to offer. View the big game from open vehicles, on foot or from the comfort of your room as you experience timeless Africa. Escape from the grind of daily life and succumb to the tranquil wilderness of the Timbavati Nature Reserve in the South African Lowveld. The Timbavati is especially well known for its frequent elephant sightings, as well as leopard and rare African wild dog. It is also home to over 350 bird species, making it a must-see destination for keen bird watchers.

    Why We Love It
    • Its proximity to Hoedspruit, which is a quick direct flight from Cape Town and an even quicker link from Joburg. There’s a private, tarred airstrip 30 minutes’ drive from the camp, and it’s six hours’ drive from Joburg, three from Nelspruit
    • That nothing’s too much trouble to organize, whether it’s pre-shopping or a private chef you’re after, your needs will be catered to
    • Ask about photographic courses and don’t forget to pack your yoga kit
    • The open-plan design in the living area: great for multigenerational families
    • Guests will love the fire pit – it has oodles of seating and comfy cushions
