For guests staying at Hideaways Amava River Lodge, a visit to Kingly Conservation Camp in the Balule Nature Reserve is more than just a day trip—it’s a chance to be part of something bigger. Set within the Greater Kruger ecosystem, this former cattle farm has been transformed into a thriving Big Five sanctuary, where nature has reclaimed its place and conservation is at the heart of everything.
Guests are invited to roll up their sleeves and take part in meaningful, hands-on conservation activities—like removing snares, patrolling fences, clearing invasive plants, and monitoring rhino movements. Each task directly supports the protection of Africa’s iconic wildlife and the long-term health of the environment, including the vital Olifants River that runs through the reserve.
This is your opportunity to go beyond the traditional safari and make a real impact.
