The Tydon Bush Camp is set in the heart of the Sabi Sands, which is part of the Greater Kruger National Park.

Wildlife will also gather at the camp’s waterhole, allowing you to observe herds of buffalo and elephant from the comfort of your camp.

Experience dining under the stars in an open-air boma, which are heralded by blasts on a kudu horn; a summoning to delicious food.

This tour is perfect for solo travellers, couples, families, romantic getaways, wildlife and photographic enthusiasts.
