Neighbourhood information

Bateleur is situated in the Olievenhout Camp of Mabalingwe and close to all the main attractions in the park. The caravan park and its amenities are a stone throw away and the restaurant is just 3.5 km from the lodge. You can enjoy horseback riding, guided walks, guided game drives or rent one of our game drive vehicles should you wish to explore the park by yourselves. The predator park experience is amazing and we can definitely recommend the spa experience at one of the two spa's in the park. You may also enquire about a mobile spa facility. There is so much to do and to explore. Zebula is not far and Elements golf estate is also close by for the keen golfer. Kalahari Oasis is national treasure and you wont be left dissapointed.
