Akeru - South Africa
For millions of years, the Timbavati bushveld has remained untouched, retaining its wild rugged character and basking in its glory as home to all of Africa's big game. And it is to this home that Waynne and Tammy McLintock invite you to journey to experience the mystical ancestry of this wilderness, spiritual home of the White Lion, that has been called....Akeru.
At Akeru, you will find a refuge - a place of exquisite beauty and peace set amidst several thousand hectares of pristine Timbavati wilderness, wherein vehicle activity is kept to a minimum and radio contact utilised to maximise sightings of interest. The camp overlooks a waterhole which is visited by the Timbavati's small and big game. Time stands still here for guests who while away many an hour relaxing at the pool watching the animals quench their thirst.
ACCOMMODATION
Upon your arrival, you will experience unrivalled enthusiasm from our family of staff, who are dedicated to exceeding your expectations and ensuring that you leave, not as a quest - but as a friend.
We have created a home-away-home where children are welcome and whether you choose one of our four twin rooms or three family suites - each en suite thatched chalet is a haven of tranquillity. Our social area includes a lounge with fireplace, a bar, an elevated loft area, an inside and outside dining room and the ultimate al fresco experience - an open air boma.
ACTIVITIES
Each member of our Akeru team is dedicated to ensuring that your safari experience is enriched by their individual skills and knowledge.
Our professional armed rangers and trackers conduct all game drives and walks ensuring that rare birds species and the more fascinating fauna and flora are not overlooked - emphasising your appreciation of the complete wilderness experience. Our safari's depart just after sunrise each day in an open fully equipped vehicle.
Tracking Africa's big game, the evening safari leaves after you have enjoyed afternoon tea and continues into the night after sundowners at a panoramic viewpoint. The evening holds a sense of anticipation as the rare and elusive nocturnal species begin their night activities.
You will return restored and rejuvenated - having absorbed the magical energy and spiritual presence inherent to the bush - a natural "tonic" that everyone should experience on a regular basis.
