With the stress of everyday city life, an escape to nature provides a welcome break. Flanked by the Magalakwena River to the East and the mighty Limpopo River and Tuli Block to the North, Bivack has been described by many as one of the most beautiful and wild areas in the world. Indeed, when more than a hundred years ago Scottish land surveyors named this 2500 Ha wilderness area “Bivack” (meaning "shelter"), they had no idea that it would one day help to protect such a variety of wildlife (including the Tuli elephants).
These surveyors were also responsible for naming the nearest town (about 40 km away) all days, when the locally brewed spirits proved too much for them. Apparently, the one-day blurred into the next and it seems to these men that the nights were non-existent! To truly experience the African bush, its beauty and opportunities is to immerse one’s self in the day-by-day observation of this wide variety of game. Observe their tribulations and struggle for survival, for Africa is not a place to be conquered but a land to be savored and experienced in its diversity. It is also a land of warm and friendly people and Bivack is no exception.
Overlooking the Magalakwena River (and home to a family of hippos), the fully staffed main camp consists of 7 en-suite chalets that comfortably sleep 20 people. All chalets are fitted with air-conditioners, hair dryers and en-suite bathrooms. Bivack is also fully licensed and stocks a wide variety of excellent wines.
Property amenities:
Each day at Bivack offers adventure and relaxation. In the morning, a game walk; for those who enjoy fishing, take some time to catch some yellow fish, tilapia, mackerel or tiger fish at one of the many spots along the Limpopo and Magalakwena Rivers. Or just relax at the lodge’s uniquely mopani pool and soak up the bushveld in the warm African sunshine.
When the day begins to cool, we set out on a game drive for sundowners at Eagle's Rock, a high observation point overlooking the Limpopo valley and Tuli Block of Botswana. Later, after dinner which was prepared in our restaurant, a slow burning boma fire lends the opportunity for companionship and the sharing of big stories against a background of star-filled African skies.
And our conference facilities: we have capacity for 22 people and are equipped with full digital multimedia and 24 hour broadband internet, making it ideal for productivity and a relaxing breakaway at the same time!
