Eagles Nest Bush Camp !

Just spent a few days at this lovely campsite! Eagles Nest is super - 8 sites all with private ablutions, a braai, electric power and a fire pit. Lots of shade, a kiddies play area and a small pool. On a working farm, so there are some buck as well as sheep that roam around the campsite.
Nice and quiet.
Eagles Nest is on the road between Bela-Bela and Thabazimbi.
Really nice !

Playground
Lovely kiddies playground. A trampoline, swings, slides and more!

Toilets
Private ablutions for each site. Really nice shower, flush toilet, hand basin and wash up facilities for each site.

Nthakeni Bush and River Camp - Campsite Review

Date Visited : June 2023

Here is a superb campsite with private ablutions, just outside of the Kruger National Park, at the Pafuri Gate.

This campsite has really nice big stands, lovely private ablutions (hot water from a donkey boiler) and it’s located on the banks of the river. It also has a swimming pool, small shop as well as a restaurant (you need to pre book). They sell firewood as well and have a nice boma with lounge seating to relax in. There is no electricity so you should have a solar setup to keep the fridge running (especially in the hot summer months)

We really enjoyed our stay here.

Forest Camp | Campsite Review

Date Visited: June 2023

Forest Camp, in the Magoebaskloof, is a really lovely campsite. They have a few of these lovely campsites.

Each has an amazing boma, which can be enclosed with drop down screens, if required. These bomas have a fireplace/braai, water, sink as well as electricity. They also have an amazing shower with a view. The Forest camp even has an outdoor bath. Then, they have a private plunge pool as well.

It’s set on a working farm. It’s recommended that you have a 4x4 as the access road is really steep and can get slippery if it’s rained.

But all in all, a superb campsite.

Date Visited: April 2023

A really nice campsite (and more!) near Pretoria and Johannesburg.

They have campsites with private ablutions, communal ablution campsites, safari tents, lodge chalets as well as an off-grid campsite. All really well appointed.

The private ablutions have everything that you need. There is electric power, as well as a lovely bona (at each private ablution site) and a lovely built-up braai and fire pit.

The campsite has a super swimming pool, as well.

It's situated on a game farm, but no self-drives are allowed. They do (at an additional charge) provide game drives. There is a small shop as well.

We enjoyed our stay here!

Lovely campsite on the banks of the Zambezi River, just outside of the town of Katima Mulilo in Namibia. The campsite has nice shade, paved areas, braai and firs pits as well as a lovely swimming pool. There is Wi-Fi at the boma near the pool.

Ablutions were nice and big and were really clean and neat. They also have electric power. Some sites are located on the river bank and are stunning. A bit of a gravel road to get to the campsite gate, but not bad at all.

Will use this campsite again if back in Katima!!

Lovely setting - poor management!!

This campsite is part of the Zambezi River Lodge Hotel - part of the Protea/Marriot hotel group. But there is little if no security here. Also, loud music on the weekends! Perhaps we were just unlucky, but we will not be camping here again!

But the location/setting is lovely. The campsite is situated on the banks of the Zambezi River. There are nice braai areas and the ablutions were in good condition. Electricity is also available.

Lower Sabie is one of the popular camps in the Kruger National Park. Nice campsites, some with shade. All are paved and have a braai, electricity as well as a tap (nearby). Be aware that some of the campsites are small and it's first come first served. So, look around if you have a big rig! The ablutions were clean neat and tidy. The rest camp has a big shop as well as a restaurant. The restaurant has a lovely deck overlooking the Sabie River. Unfortunately, none of the campsite have a river view. The rest camp does also have a swimming pool.

The rest camp is also near the Sunset Dam, a popular place for birdwatching as well as viewing the many animals that come down to drink.
