About Tamboti

A tented camp overlooking the dry Timbavati riverbed. No reception or restaurant (check in at Orpen), but an incredibly authentic bush feel.

Tamboti is a small tented camp built on the steep banks of the Timbavati River. Because it only consists of canvas safari tents and lacks a shop or restaurant, it provides an authentic, rustic bush experience. It is famous—or infamous—for the brazen honey badgers that patrol the camp at night looking for braai leftovers.
