Biyamiti bushveld camp, place of sharp wooden spears
copyright © South African tourism General info,... In line with the relatively new concept of small and more luxurious bushveld camps, Biyamiti bushveld camp is intimate and secluded, with a unique atmosphere and superb game viewing. Only residents are allowed in the camp and on the access roads to the camp, offering them the opportunity to enjoy their African safari and other bushveld experiences in complete privacy. 
Lying close to the old trade routes where Ox-wagons once cut their way through the bushveld on their way to the coast, Biyamiti bushveld camp also has some historical significance. One can still sense the fearlessness and daring of the transport riders, cutting their way through the African wilderness with their Ox-wagons, fighting disease, obstacles and elements, to transport goods between the interior and the coast. The camp is situated within the typical fairly dense mixed woodland of the area (Thorn Thickets), amidst huge Wild Fig and Jackal Berry trees, offering a vast array of flora and fauna. The riverine vegetation around the Biyamiti region and along the Crocodile river includes trees such as Tamboti, Knob Thorn, Magic Guarri, Green Thorn, Sausage Tree and Marula.

The Big 5 are present in the area, including the Black Rhino. Other animals to be spotted in the region are Giraffe, Kudu, Duiker, Impala, Steenbok, Zebra, Hippopotamus and Hyena amongst others. The chance of seeing the elusive Cheetah or a pack of Wild dogs is excellent. The well foliaged camps in the Kruger National Park in general attract a multitude of birds. The Park's five bushveld camps in particular offer superb birding opportunities. There is a hide at Biyamiti bushveld camp overlooking a water hole, from which bird watching can be very rewarding. Species one should look for around this camp are the African Barred Owlet, Retz's (Red-billed) Helmet Shrike, the Plum-coloured Starling, the Purple Roller, and the Red-backed Shrike. <<< Top of Page Map,...
