nThambo Tree Camp Highlights
nThambo Tree Camp offers guests a unique safari experience in the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, home to lion, leopard, rhino, buffalo, elephant, giraffe, hyena and many antelope and bird species. The reserve forms part of the Greater Kruger area which consists over 2 million hectares of unspoilt African bush. The Klaserie is not as famous as the rest of the reserves in the area; however this means a lot less vehicles and less people in the area.
