SanWild’s luxury Savannah Private Bush Camp has been named after a female leopard rescued three years ago after hunters trapped her illegally for a canned hunt. Fortunately, an animal lover that heard about the planned illegal hunt passed information onto SanWild’s Armed Response Unit. Savannah was rescued in time and her broken canines could be repaired at the Onderstepoort veterinary institute in Pretoria. Sadly, at the time of her capture, she was nursing, but all attempts to find her unweaned cubs failed. After making a full recovery from her ordeal, Savannah was released at SanWild and regularly hunts in the area around the camp.
The 6000 hectare SanWild Wildlife
Sanctuary has introduced numerous rescued and rehabilitated wild
animals including impala, kudu, blue wildebeest, red hartebeest,
waterbuck, common and mountain reedbuck, grey duiker, nyala,
giraffe, zebras, steenbok, rhinos, hippos and elephants. Some
very elusive and rare creatures like pangolin and aardvark have
also chosen of their own accord to make this protected reserve
their home. Wild leopard and cheetahs roam freely and a pack of
rescued African Wild Dogs will be introduced shortly. Many
small predators like serval, caracal and civets can also be seen
in the reserve and the sanctuary’s large predator Cats’ Rescue
center is home to 19 lions rescued from South Africa’s sordid
canned lion breeding and hunting industry.
The stylish Savannah Private Bush Camp consists of four luxury chalets with en-suite bathrooms and thatched roofs. Satellite television and air-conditioning is available in all the chalets. The central facility is set in beautiful gardens with a rock pool where guests can escape the heat while keeping a close eye on a wide variety of wild animals drinking from the waterhole a mere 80 meters away. The camp is completely fenced to keep out SanWild’s large wild animals like elephants, rhinos and hippos. A resident chef prepares scrumptious meals that are served in the dinning room cum lounge that has a huge fireplace for those cold rainy days. A veranda under thatch leads off to the dinning room and includes a small pub where guests can relax or socialize during the day. Some evenings are spent in the open-air boma area where meals can be prepared next to a campfire or you might very well be surprised with a bush supper that is enjoyed in the bush. These special suppers are offered in the wilderness areas of the reserve and the venue is changed regularly to provide a unique and special bush experience.
Only
eight people are accommodated in the Savannah Private Bush Camp
at any given time. The camp is also available to groups or for
corporate bookings.
