About the camp

Life at Tamboti

Tamboti is a small tented camp built on the steep banks of the Timbavati River. Because it only consists of canvas safari tents and lacks a shop or restaurant, it provides an authentic, rustic bush experience. It is famous-or infamous-for the brazen honey badgers that patrol the camp at night looking for braai leftovers.
