The best campsites South Africa

With its restaurant on the Letaba River, the Elephants Museum and tents, there is a beautiful atmosphere. Visit the water points Malopenyana and Middelvlei, and you will probably see pachyderms, because the camp is famous for being an oasis appreciated by them. Camp located at Phalaborwa Gate, in the centre of the park, ideal for a first or last night passing through this door. On-site: distributor, restaurant, cafeteria, service station and swimming pool!

Satara Camp is a camp of rudimentaires bungalows, a little more comfortable with the kitchenette. But we come here for the location, in the heart of the park (closest door: Orpen) in an area populated by lions, hyenas and other cats, but also giraffes, buffalo and antelopes (their pantry). On-site swimming pool, supermarket, restaurant, service station… A nice camp, with game drive. Small budgets can camp and sleep in less expensive huts in the Balule satellite camp, well placed too.

On the river Klaserie, nestled in the vegetation, a rustic camp on stilts. A magical meal at the height of the birds. Walks in freedom since there is no croqueurs, simply sympathetic antelopes, some giraffes and zebras. You sleep like a Pope under the tent, if you have chosen the self-catering option, a kitchen corner.

A horse safari specialist, a national reputation. At the beginning of the tent camp installed near the Makhutswe River, you move to the encounter of wildlife on the Karongwe reserve.

The opportunity to experiment in the arms of the forest: Here are beautiful and large tents on stilts, several meters from the ground. In the summer, take care of snakes in the branches. I loved this very happy ensemble of safari tents and public parts decorated with great elegance. The lounges are furnished with the same invoice as at Kapama Lodge, which is not very easy to say. Each object is beautiful to look at; moreover, we have the impression that they are watching us. Excellent value for money. Children from age 12.

A private camp in the gorge of the Sand River. Bochimanes paintings. Cottages and tents, with the self catering option.
