About Seringa at Bushveld Bivouac

Seringa @ Bushveld Bivouac offers stunning, fully serviced, off-the-grid, self-catering glamping accommodation in Hoedspruit amongst the abundant birdlife and majestic flora, on an easily accessible 300-hectare farm with a wide range of plains game. Guests will enjoy magnificent views, unspoilt bush and beautiful amenities when booking the accommodation at Bushveld Bivouac in Mica, 30km from Hoedspruit.

Self Catering Accommodation

So named for the magnificent tree towering over the fire pit, Seringa features three platforms – an entertainment deck, a sleeping deck and a bathroom deck offering a romantic outside bath facing the hills of the GaMashishimale, in the Selati game reserve in the distance.

Savour a glass of champagne, to complement the setting sun or by candlelight, while relaxing in warm bubbles as the day gives way to the sounds of the evening bush.

Providing welcome shade over the boma, the Seringa tree can be most enjoyed in autumn when its red, orange and yellow colours rival those of the setting sun – visible from every deck. But in all seasons, however, this astounding tree delights – with whorls of luminous green leaves in summer, mysterious bending shapes of branches in winter and the softness of budding leaves in spring.

The Seringa stores water in its roots, enabling it to survive short periods of drought and the fibre obtained from the bark, young shoots and roots is strong enough to be used for weaving. Browsers, apart from elephant, do not particularly like the leaves.

Seringa is a lovely multi-level site which has a main tent furnished with a King-size bed and a ceiling fan. The en-suite bathroom is fitted with a shower, toilet and basin. There is also an outdoor bath with lovely views. Bathroom amenities, linen and towels are provided.

The private kitchen is equipped with a 2-plate stove, fridge as well as crockery, cutlery and utensils. There is a private plunge pool and fire pit.

Children under 14 years old will be accommodated on camp beds in their parents tent. A maximum of two children (under 14 years of age) per tent can be accommodated.

Optional Food / Shopping options

Complimentary fresh coffee, teas, sugar, creamer and rusks are provided and pastries and freshly squeezed juices can be delivered to the site by arrangement for an additional fee. Even though the sites are self-catering, as an extra at an additional cost, food shopping can be done on clients' behalf and delicious pre-prepared meals can be ordered, as well as a mouth-watering picnic basket for a day excursion.
