The bush walk takes groups of up to 8 people out into the bush for a few hours.
Track Rhino, Elephant and Lion on foot and learn and observe fascinating facts about the African bush. The 'Big Five' are spotted here frequently, along with fantastic birdlife.

Birding
Two dams, Silvervis and Rooibosrand are within close range of Bateleur Camp and are restricted to the residents of the camp. Silvervis boasts a large variety of birdlife and as well as wildlife such as Hippopotamus, Crocodiles, Bushbuck and Nyala.
The nearby Rooibosrand Dam is worth visiting for all the general waterbirds, including African Spoonbill, Yellowbilled Stork and African Fish Eagle, Whitefaced Duck and Knobbilled Duck as well as the Greenshank and of course the camp's namesake; the Bateleur Eagle.
The Bateleur Eagle is the most famous of the Snake Eagles. Bateleur is French for 'tightrope-walker'. This name was probably chosen because of its distinctive aerial acrobatics.
