Look that says it all

If ever a look did say it all, it was this male lion looking very unhappy.
And why wouldn't he? After all he was busy doing what comes naturally with the new found love of his life and along came tourists to watch!
We quickly retreated, giving them some privacy.

Rukiya - Our Safari Base

Our safari home and base for much of our work in leopard conservation is Rukiya Safari Camp within the Wild Rivers Nature Reserve. As you might expect all of our standard itineraries start with time spent with our team at Rukiya, as it is offers a unique and intimate wildlife experience and the opportunity to take Big Five game drives in the adjacent Balule game reserve. When entering Wild Rivers Nature Reserve, expect to be immersed in the vista of endless woodland set against the back drop of the majestic Drakensberg mountains that change colour as the day walks on.  This 2,600 hectare reserve is bordered by both the Blyde and Olifants Rivers and boasts a diverse landscape with rocky outcrops and savanna where plains game roam freely. Leopard wander and river banks are frequented by hippo and crocodiles. Although Elephants and Lions are sometime seen on the reserve (having drifted into the reserve from the adjacent Kruger Park), there are normally no Big Five animals resident on the Reserve. Rukiya Safari Camp is an intimate, luxury tented camp situated on the confluence of the Blyde and Olifants Rivers in the heart of Wild Rivers Private Nature Reserve.

The development of the camp was done with a least-impact footprint with a variety of green or eco-friendly principles employed during the construction process. A large part of the area comprises of deck and canvass that has a minimal effect in contrast to conventional brick and mortar. The operation of the camp follows the ecological-sensitive philosophy by utilizing environmentally friendly products that does not contain harmful chemicals. Up-cycled drift- and pallet wood were used to furnish and decorate the camp and were sourced from local suppliers in support of the community.

Following a holistic approach to contribute to an ultimate nature experience, great care is taken to provide guests with all the special touches, pampering and comforts during their stay. Safaris and bush walks are part of the offering of all-inclusive packages. The iconic tented accommodation fortifies the African experience that allows guests to immerse themselves in the beauty of the magical Lowveld.  Six en-suite luxury tents  have been carefully placed underneath the shade of giant Jackalberry trees with wonderful views to the river.
