September 10, 2025Our first stay here and so pleasant. Sonja and her team super nice. Spacious personal campsite very well maintained. The private bathroom very nice and clean, and we felt safe. Wildlife spectacular hiking through the reserve. The fire pit and braai facilities perfect. We’ll definitely visit again.

November 10, 2025We camped on the Barbet campsite for the weekend. The bathroom was clean and the sites are far from each other. There are lovely hiking routes and we saw lots of animals. I would recommend this place to someone who loves nature and enjoy peace and quiet camping.

September 20, 2025Had the most amazing and relaxed time here. The campsites are clean, spacious and very safe. Did a drive around the reserve, got lost here and there as I didn't want to use the map but seeing the animals roaming around made the experience worth while. Daniel has the most amazing service as he is easily approachable.
