24 Hours at Abelana Safari Camp - Tented Magic in the Bushveld

by Antje Meyer • 25 February 2025

Tucked away in a pristine private reserve, Abelana Safari Camp offers an intimate, immersive experience. Abelana Game Reserve is situated between Hoedspruit and Phalaborwa and forms part of the Greater Kruger Biosphere. This 15,000 hectare reserve is home to the Big5, and some of the most beautiful landscapes in the region. Abelana Safari Camp - First Impressions Tented camps embody the raw, unfiltered essence of a true safari. There are no walls to separate you from the wilderness, no barriers to dampen the sounds of the bush. The gentle rustling of leaves, distant lion roars and the crips night air are all part of the experience. A tented camp like Abelana Safari Camp transports you back to the golden era of exploration where nature dictates the pace of life. Arriving at the Reserve Gate, we were welcomed with big smiles by John, our then guide and now friend. The drive from the gate in an open 4x4 to the Camp is approximately 30 minutes - with stops en-route if there is wildlife to view. My first impression of the reserve was that of a pristine wilderness region. Which these days are few and far between. With only two lodges traversing 15,000 hectares the vehicle density is extremely low and it shows. Now, Big5 chasers will argue that a low vehicle density equals less sightings and its time that we put that myth to bed - Abelana Safari Camp takes an old school approach to game drives - they hire exceptional guides and trackers that know the bush intimately and rely on their skills to find the wildlife - not on radios or other vehicles. In fact one of my highlights of our short stay at Abelana was that in two game drives we only ever saw one other vehicle and that was in passing. This is our kind of safari experience. As we pulled up to Abelana Safari Camp the warmth and hospitality of the camp staff radiated through their smiles. Marge whisked us into the main tent for a refreshing welcome drink, safety briefing and camp orientation, setting the relaxed tone for camp life and the adventure ahead.
