Guest Reviews

• Otto (9/5): Very clean units and beautiful resort with friendly staff. -
• Nienke (8/5): -
• Birte (10/5): Schöne Unterkunft mit Pool, gut geeignet auch für Kinder - HOT TUB Qualität des Restaurants
• Michelle (5/5): Beautiful Setting, Fantastic Quad Biking, But Comfort & Value Fell Short - Africamps is set in a truly beautiful location — lush, scenic, easy to find, and the communication leading up to our stay was excellent. One of the absolute highlights of our visit was the quad bike experience booked through the venue, which we thoroughly enjoyed and would highly recommend. I would also like to specifically mention that the maintenance gentleman who assisted us (whose name I unfortunately did not get) was exceptionally friendly, professional, and eager to help. His positive attitude and willingness to assist were truly appreciated and made a noticeable difference during our stay. Unfortunately, several aspects of our experience were disappointing and significantly impacted our overall stay. Prior to arrival, I specifically booked and paid for two braai baskets for Monday and Wednesday evenings. The payment process through the website was frustrating and took hours, although payment was eventually confirmed. Despite this, upon arrival we were told we still needed to pay for the braai boxes, which made for a frustrating first impression as I then had to return to the unit to provide proof of payment. When the braai boxes finally arrived, all four were delivered at once instead of on the evenings I had requested. More disappointing was that nearly everything was frozen solid (except the salad), despite the website stating these need to be ordered 24 hours in advance. This felt misleading, especially considering the food clearly came straight from a freezer. For R275 per person, the quality and quantity were underwhelming — the steak was more of a minute steak, the boerewors was very thin, and the chicken sosaties were inconsistent in size. The contents looked nothing like the promotional photos online. There were also several maintenance and comfort issues that need attention. The hot tub water was dirty on arrival, and we had to request maintenance to clean it. A small pool net in each unit would be a practical addition. The braai grill was unstable and in poor condition, and there was no light near the braai area, leaving us to cook using cellphone flashlights. The tent itself also needs maintenance. In terms of comfort, the accommodation felt quite basic and not especially relaxing. The furniture (bench, chairs, sofa) was all very hard, as was the bed, and the blankets were thin. We also experienced a severe fly infestation in the tent, yet there was no fly swatter provided — a simple but necessary item in this kind of setting.
• Ernest (9/5): In de hot tub onder de sterrenhemel - Een tent op een idyllisch plekje, van alle gemakken voorzien. In de hot tub onder een sterrenhemel is een magische beleving. Goed ontbijtpakket en sympathiek personeel. Aanrader!
• Debbie (10/5): -
• Sideeqah (9/5): -
• Julia (9/5): - Kids loved it, tent was beautiful and clean, people very friendly. Bit expensive though especially for SA standards.
• monique (8/5): Great stay - AfriCamps at Kam’Bati is the perfect escape if you’re craving nature without giving up those little luxuries that make a stay truly comfortable. Set in a peaceful and tranquil environment, it offers a genuine sense of calm from the moment you arrive. The safari tents are beautifully presented and thoughtfully equipped, with everything you could need for a self catering stay, including full kitchen utensils, crockery, comfortable bedding, and fresh towels. It strikes the perfect balance between outdoor living and modern convenience, with hot showers, electricity, and a fridge to keep everything fresh. Each tent also features its own braai / bbq facilities on the deck, making it easy to enjoy relaxed outdoor meals while taking in the surroundings. The setting itself is stunning, with a serene river running through the property, ideal for a spot of fishing or simply unwinding by the water. There are three swimming pools to enjoy, two of which are perfect for families. One is especially suited for younger children, with shallow water and fun slides, making it ideal for toddlers and babies. There’s plenty to keep everyone entertained, including a bouncy castle, mini golf, and canoes for exploring the river. Each tent also comes with its own wood fired hot tub, adding a special touch to your stay and the perfect way to relax in the evenings. There is also a lovely on site cafe that serves pizzas, chips, ice cream, and a variety of cool drinks, perfect for an easy treat or a relaxed meal. The shop at reception is well stocked with essentials, offering snacks, water, and firewood, which is especially convenient if you plan on using the braai or heating up your hot tub. Overall, it’s a fantastic getaway that combines relaxation, family friendly activities, and beautiful natural surroundings, making it a memorable experience from start to finish. The pool designed for babies and younger children could use a bit of maintenance, as some areas of the pool floor are beginning to wear and feel slightly rough underfoot, which may be uncomfortable or cause injury to little feet. Also, one of the larger slides was out of order during our stay, which was a little disappointing, especially for the kids who were looking forward to using it.
• Anja (9/5): -
• Ronnie (10/5): Tolles Personal, schöne Anlage, super Unterkunft im "Zelt" - Aufgrund eines Unfalls sind wir erst sehr spät abends eingetroffen. Es wurde extra auf uns gewartet und wir erhielten super Unterstützung von Jana (?!) weit über den normalen Umfang hinaus. Sie hat uns bei den Themen rund um unseren Unfall (Ersatzwagen, weiterer Ablauf, etc.) sehr geholfen. Leider war unser Aufenthalt dadurch nur sehr kurz, wir wären gerne länger geblieben. Die Zelte, sofern man diese überhaupt so betiteln kann, da es sich im Inneren überhaupt nicht wie ein Zelt anfühlt, sind super ausgestattet.
• Veronica (8/5): -
• Esther (10/5): - Der gesamte Aufenthalt war einfach ein Erlebnis. Wir haben noch nie so viele Sterne am Nachthimmel gesehen. Wir haben die Abende auf der großen Terrasse und im Hot Tub genossen.
• Lawrence (10/5): Should have stayed another night. - Lovely setting near the river with Mountain views. Super friendly and helpful staff. Tents are really well equipped and so comfortable.
• Lindi (10/5): - Every small touch they added in the tent stood out for us and was noticed. From a plant in "pot" to a ribbon around the toilet paper. The test and everything inside was immaculate
• Andrew (6/5): Had the potential to be a great stay, but failed due to where our tent was located - Great facilities for kids Despite being fairly empty during our stay, we were put in tent 6, which is the furthest possible tent from the pool, reception, restaurant etc, and next to a service road which had constant traffic which was very noisy! Tent 6 is undoubtedly the worst position on the entire property!! There were (unoccupied) tents along the river which must have had a lovely view, and been nice and peaceful - sadly ours had neither of those things!
• Michelle (9/5): -
• BORIS (8/5): Bien mais cher pour la prestation - Ambiance, belle tente, beau mobilier, belle Vue Il faisait très( trop) chaud dans la tente en journée malgré la Climatisation, eau des piscines troubles ( eau de la rivière)
• Timo (9/5): -
• Andi (10/5): -
• Steffie (3/5): Een zeer vieze en teleurgestelde ervaring! - De tent was oké Ons verblijf was ronduit teleurstellend. Uit de kraan kwam bruin water dat rechtstreeks uit de rivier leek te komen. Dit moesten we gebruiken om te douchen en onze tanden te poetsen — onacceptabel en allesbehalve hygiënisch. Ook de hottub was gevuld met bruin water en zag er ronduit smerig uit. Het terrein was daarnaast vervuild met ganzenpoep, zelfs in de speeltuin en rond het zwembad. Dit geeft een zeer onverzorgde en onhygiënische indruk, zeker op plekken waar kinderen spelen. Tot overmaat van ramp werden wij helemaal achteraan op het terrein geplaatst. Toen wij hierover iemand wilden spreken, bleek er niemand van AfriCamps aanwezig te zijn. De aanwezige medewerkers konden niets voor ons betekenen en boden alleen aan om te bellen. Dat vinden wij geen adequate manier om met klachten van gasten om te gaan.
• Rocco (9/5): -
• Maik (9/5): Schön entspannend in einer sicheren Umgebung. - Tolles Erlebnis im mittendrin vom nirgendwo. Es ist ein geschützter Bereich, wo die Kinder auch frei herumlaufen können. Klimatisierte Glampingzelt mit bequemen Betten. Unser Zelt hätte auch für 5 Personen gereicht, weil das Bett unter dem Hochbett ein Doppelbett ist. Es gab auch alles in 5-facher Ausführung (Teller, Besteck). Das ganze Wasser mit dem man im Haus arbeitet ist gelb. Es wird aus dem Fluss bezogen ist zum duschen und allem gut aber sollte nicht getrunken werden. Es läuft eine Horde Gänse frei über die Anlage, nicht wundern, wenn die morgens vor dem Balkon rumhängen oder sogar den Pool überfallen. Anlage wird oft für das Wochenende gebucht. Wir waren von Samstag bis Montag da und am Sonntag war es schon sehr entspannt da. Wir waren als Familie mit zwei Kinder da (6 und 4). Kleiner Tipp, auf Nachfrage an der Rezeption kann man auch Bier bekommen. Wir hatten ein Zelt mit Hot Tup gebucht aber unsere „Wanne“ stand nicht auf dem Balkon sondern daneben. Also neben dem Haus. Fanden wir nicht schön haben es darum auch nicht genutzt. Es gab zwei „Geschirrhandtücher“. Das eine ist mehr ein Lappen der bei bloßen Anblick von Wasser schon nichts mehr aufnimmt. Der andere ist eher so eine Art Handtuch, wo beim antrocknen mehr Flusen am Geschirr hängen bleibt als vorher Essensreste drauf waren. Kühlschrank ist klein mit kleinem Gefrierfach.
• Edward (8/5): Lekker ontspan!! - NA NA
• Suzan En Yuri (8/5): Leuke glamping ervaring. - De tent is mooi ingericht en voorzien van alle benodigdheden. Daarnaast is de braai erg lekker en is de hottub die je zelf warm stookt erg leuk! Ook het zwembad is leuk en in het lage badje konden onze kids van 2 en 4 zelfs zelf staan. De tenten zijn heel gehorig. We hadden een huilende baby in de tent naast ons en dat hoorde je heel goed. Verder kun je de mini golf baan skippen.
• Sonja (8/5): Glamping - Schöne Anlage, super ausgestattete Zelte Poolbereich wirkte ungepflegt, insgesamt zu teuer
• koos (9/5): - Alles zeer fijne ontvangst allee vriendelijkst -
• Jonathan (10/5): Very relaxing and toddler friendly. - Great options for food at our tent and on the property
• Alida (8/5): -
• Henriette (9/5): -
• Faizel (7/5): Overall was good and enjoyed the quadbikes - Setup was good but seating could be more comfortable with cushioning on seats The fact that the neighbours music was loud till late at night and could not sleep
• Jeremy (8/5): Was a delightful experience - The tent and the way it was fitted out The hot tub Having to buy wood and then having to transport it to your accommodation ourselves. Would be nice if we could preorder and have it delivered Previous places with hot tubs gave you wood Almost like a gas job and you need to buy gas Small thing in greater picture x
• Almiri (10/5): Amazing, relaxing, adventurous - Excellent service, very relaxing we really enjoyed the location and the set up. Nothing
• Steffen (10/5): -
• Michelle (10/5): Enjoyed the stay and lovely unit - Tranquil and peaceful. Beautiful views N/a
• Dean (6/5): -
• Megan (10/5): - Family orientated, and good clean facilities.
• Francois (9/5): -
• Oliver (10/5): -
• Dennis (8/5): -
• Helen (9/5): Lovely family resort - Perfect for families with kids. Pools, slides, art with Anré, quad biking and kayaking with Essau (extra charge) & lots of safe space to run. Well maintained and clean Africamps tents with everything thought of. Very comfortable beds and white linen. Well managed & good communications. Minor items: one or two kitchen staff were smoking near the pool, occasionally older kids were doing dangerous jumps and slides in the pool, and sometimes the noise (pre the 10pm cut off) was a little loud. But nothing that would stop us from returning. Only item I thought might be provided but was not was shower soap but this was in the shop so no issue. On the river there is a platform that I would probably block off because the water is not so deep and there are rocks so a heavier jumper could get injured, but that would be at their own risk either way.
• de Necker (10/5): - For longer stays definitely a bigger fridge.
• Tazkia (9/5): -
• Rutger (8/5): -
• Heidi (9/5): We loved it! -
• Fatima Badat (10/5): -
• Geneve (8/5): Relaxing family getaway - The staff were great and the pool facilities were tidy & well maintained The bedding - specifically pillows - need replacing. Pigeons roosting above tent 13 are particularly active at night which is quite a disturbance.
• fabian (9/5): Kurz, aber schön! - Schöne Ausblick, nette Personal, cooles Ambiente
• Fuad (10/5): -
• Arthur (8/5): -
• Kayleigh Van Dyk (10/5): - Beautiful stay with an amazing view
• Holger (10/5): - Unsere Tochter war schlichtweg begeistert. Uns hat der Comfort sehr begeistert. Der Hot Tube wurde sehr ausgiebig von uns genutzt. Wir haben nur sehr gute Erinnerungen an unseren kurzen Aufenthalt. Nichts
• Jenny (9/5): Great overnight stop while doing the garden route - The tent and hot tub were fabulous
• Marisks Lindsi (8/5): -
• Azola (8/5): -
• Mike (6/5): Just ok - .. Service
• Fränzi (8/5): Spaßige Glamping-Erfahrung (gerade für Kinder) - Für Kinder ist diese Glamping-Erfahrung ein riesen Spaß. Auch die Pools und Rutschen wurden viel und fleißig mit großer Freude, trotz des recht kühlen Wetters, genutzt. Das Zelt war groß, geräumig und sehr sauber. Es war sehr modern eingerichtet und die Einrichtung wirkte wertig. Das Personal war super freundlich und aufmerksam. Das Frühstück bei Vögelgezwitscher am frühen Morgen draußen war absolut ein Traum. Die Vielzahl an Fliegen die sich bereits bei Ankunft in unserem Zelt, trotz Insektenschutz, befanden. Gerade beim Essen wirkten diese sehr störend. Die Steine die im Poolbereich hoch gekommen sind - eine absolute Stolpergefahr. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis - im Vergleich mit ähnlichen Unterkünften recht teuer.
• Janie Du Toit (8/5): First time experience with Africamps - It was a family oriented accommodation with a lovely view and a lot of space. It is quite expensive for 4 adults for one night and there is nothing "fancy" about the accommodation.
• Mogamad (8/5): - Camp feel. Nature. Well appointed tents. Bird variety. Seclusion. Friendly and helpful staff. No initial / starter/complimentary wood for hot tub. No chilled water on arrival.
• Suwaybah (10/5): -
• Khan (10/5): -

• mikayla_b (9/5): Amazing family getaway - We had a wonderful, memorable time at AfriCamps - it was very comfortable and the tent had everything we needed. It was a very peaceful place to be, with plenty of activities for everyone to enjoy. A highlight was the hot tub and all the pools and waterslides. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We were disappointed that the putt-putt course was an extra cost and it is very poorly designed on such a slope that it is impossible to enjoy. It should be a free activity, open to all guests.
• René (9/5): -
• Toni (8/5): Family friendly - I loved everything about the place. Accommodation was great, the facility were amazing and kid friendly. And the staff were helpful and friendly. I would have liked them to offer complimentary bags of wood since the hot tub is heated up with fire and it uses a lot of wood.
• Sebastian (10/5): Tolles Erlebnis, mal eine etwas andere Unterkunft. - Toll in der Natur gelegen. Outdoorfeeling mit ein bisschen Luxus. Dank Heinzdecke und Klima haben wir trotz kalter Temperaturen nicht gefroren. Bei Wind ist es sehr laut.
• neil (5/5): Good place - shocking service - Location was good. Very poor reception! I had to shout halooo to get lady pop up behind the desktop and off her phone. We were told very briefly that they have ice and water and wood. We were never told there was none of this at the tent! So we went back. Very expensive wood ,water etc . The goodbye lady was sparkling but the reception was shocking. After many africamps experiences we will not return here.
• Heather (10/5): - Stunning location,the hot tub on the cold evening and the luxury of the tent. Kids loved the geese and bird life. Nothing
• Janine (8/5): - Great family weekend. Please note it is important to mention to bring fire lighters [a lot], they are pretty expensive at the camp site and you need a lot to get the fireplace and tub up and running.
• Martine (10/5): Absolute Gem, Highly Recommend! - Outstanding stay, one of the best AfriCamps in SA! Highlight recommend for groups of friends, or family with children. Great stop on a Garden Route Roadtrip. Well equiped, beautiful tents, modern, clean. Highlight was the hot tub on a winter evening, and the beautiful scenery. We will be back! Not applicable.
• Karlien (10/5): Magnificent! - The jacuzzi is a treat! Nice and cozy size, just right. The inside fireplace was great. The views🙂 Heated beds The time to heat the jacuzzi🙂 Shower door was loose
• Dockrall (7/5): Good -
• Peter (10/5): Peaceful. Amazing to just unwind from life's rat race. - Beautiful setting, tranquil.
• Imran (9/5): Superb -
• Thetravellingsteve (10/5): Did not want to leave this slice of heaven - We spent most of our stay walking around the property, taking the kids swimming, playing putt-putt and when they were finally passed out after a busy day we spent some time stargazing in the jacuzzi! Not much to dislike, if you looking to relax, spend some quality time with your family or visit any of the local attractions this is the perfect location.
• Laylani (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tracy (8/5): For Something Different - tent style accommodations, friendly staff, beautiful location we got there around 1500 but the couldn't get ice cream or fries. But we were off season. Dirt road to get there (on bicycles)
• Brian (7/5): Had a great stay. too many flies for that period and the bar was closed - Location good - too many flies Flies and the bar was never open
• Hafsa (5/5): Passable - The tent is comfortable and equipped with what you need. Even though they have a "no excessive noise" policy, our neighbours were loud throughout the night and next day playing music loud and shouting ruining the peaceful experience we thought we were going to have. Another downturn is that you basically have to pay for everything once you're there including drinking water. You have to buy firewood which is quite overpriced at their shop, you don't even get one complimentary bag. They have a list of amenities on their website but you have to pay for it all like the putt putt.
• Jean (6/5): It was nice but did not enjoy the fact that the bar didn’t open and could not get basic things like tomato sauce at the - Nice setting and the tents were very comfortable The shop was not well stocked and the bar didn’t open for the weekend
• Hall (10/5): Exceptional -
• Henri (9/5): Superb -
• Matilda (10/5): Exceptional -
• Pottas (7/5): Good - Size Geyser was broken so had to use another cabin’s shower. No hot water
• Susanne (9/5): Superb -
• Chrissie (10/5): It was exactly what i expected - Everything was neat and clean Could consider covered parking for the cars - car port would be great
• Susanne (9/5): Superb -
• Stefani (7/5): Good -
• Romina (7/5): Good - Lovely setting The flies unfortunately and the fridge/ freezer is extremely small. We couldn't fit most of our food in it.
• Una (10/5): Perfect - No iron Yes it's camping but like to look decebt
• Lalla (7/5): Good -
• Val (9/5): Fantastic stay with lots of opportunities to interact with nature. Just wonderful. - Fantastic location. Loved the kiddies swimming pool area. Walks along the riverbank. Really fantastic Perhaps its the season but there was a massive amount of flies everywhere in and around the tent. Perhaps plant mint trees etc to ward off the flies.
• Michael (8/5): Very good -
• Sanette (9/5): Superb -
• Janine (8/5): Thoroughly enjoyed it - Did not order the breakfast. Location was amazing Cocroaches
