A camping-only satellite camp on the Timbavati River, roughly 3 km from Orpen Gate on the Kruger's western boundary. SANParks says it is one of two camps in the park set aside for caravans and tents, with no pre-built units. There is one communal kitchen, one ablution block and a shared fridge, plus a small waterhole near the fence and a viewing platform over the river. There is no shop or reception, and activities are booked through Orpen.
