Kruger Untamed is the realisation of a long-held dream. Since their early days as guide and tracker, Alex and Renias have envisioned a place of their own where they can share their passion for animal tracking and wilderness immersion.
Tshokwane River Camp is ensconced in a tall, shady woodland, providing an ideal habitat for leopard and elephant sightings.
Satara Plains Camp is cradled by a natural spring – it offers expansive open spaces where large prides of lions and cheetahs are frequently seen

(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on BookingTom23 September 2026The most astonishing and marvelous safari trip in the world ☺The camp was in the middle of Kruger park and the staff was amazing. They did everything to make our journey wonderful. Especially the safari drives with Ethan and Harley were marvelous, both know so much about nature and all the animals in the park that we were speechless. We will come back without any doubt and will advise everybody the camp to enjoy the same experience we had. ☹NothingPosted on Booking
Debra23 September 2026Exceptional…would definitely stay again. ☺This is a wonderful experience being in the bush right in the park, nothing else around. The tent is large, well furnished & kept beautifully x2 a day. The bathroom facilities are very good with a proper flushing toilet and a large glass jar of running water at the basin. They put a thermos of hot water beside the basin each evening for face washing and we enjoyed a lovely hot bucket shower each night looking up at the stars…felt so good after being out in the African sun all day. Our tent looked out across the dry river where you could see plenty of wildlife, including elephants….lovely view. The food was of a very high standard with all meals being buffet except for one dinner during our stay. Great variety at each meal and the drinks plentiful and cold. The game driving and nature walks were exceptional…so much wildlife. Never any other vehicles around and all the guides were very knowledgeable. All staff very friendly and fun. ☹It was all perfectPosted on Booking
