- Kama (8/5): -
- Talia (10/5): Adventure meets comfort! - Perfect stay in Plett! The tents are well equipped, very comfortable and have amazing views! We saw cows and deers from the tent, and we even heard lions from the neighboring farm roar at night. Absolutely phenomenal experience and I cannot recommend Africamps enough!
- Yasmina (10/5): -
- Oksana (10/5): Wunderbar - Es war ein großartiger Aufenthalt , es hat uns sehr gut gefallen, unsere 3 Kids hatten Mega Spaß in der Natur zu sein und haben den kleinen Wanderweg sehr genossen. Es war alles perfekt ;)
- Adams (10/5): -
- Frost (10/5): Fantastic value - Super friendly welcome and lovely neat and clean setting That we had to leave
- fay (9/5): Peaceful and comfortable - Beautiful scenery and comfortable accommodation Nothing I can think of
- Jenique (6/5): Very relaxing and peaceful getaway in an excellent location! - Excellent location and concept. Tent was equipped with everything needed and even an air conditioner for the South African heat. The property was not well cleaned which was disappointing especially since a cleaning fee is raised by the property with every booking.There was dust which had accumulated over the beams and bunk bed as well under around the furniture which was visibly not cleaned properly for some time.
- Marieke (8/5): -
- Carina (7/5): - Große bequeme Betten, komfortables Zelt, Hot Tub Die Unterkunft ist relativ teuer, trotzdem muss Holz und Anzünder für den Hot Tub extra gezahlt werden.
Die Ausstattung (zB Pfannenwender und Co) müsste dringend mal erneuert werden.
Insgesamt schlechter als Addo und Klein Karoo.
- Christophe (3/5): -
- Jonathan (10/5): -
- Michelle (7/5): - charging for the wood
- Marie (8/5): We are fan of Africamps ! Super formula to enjoy nature and comfort. Many thanks for everything ! -
- Snow (9/5): Dolphin watching was a delightful bonus! - Lovely setting and being so close to Nature. Watching the baby Impala grow each day and other farm livestock. Spending time with the family who live locally. Any requests were promptly dealt with in a friendly way (the need for a water top-up) The beach at Nature's Way is one of our favourites along with Keurbooms. Great time, thank you. Having to share the bedroom with a huge rain spider - not Africamps fault and we were glamping! Having to slide out of the double bed is not ideal, but it is our second visit, so we did know about the setup.
- Dick (10/5): Great stay, peaceful and quiet for a great price! - The views! -
- Jacqui (8/5): We had an amazing stay. Loved the hot tub. - Beautiful setting I think wood should be supplied considering there is a hot tub. We paid for 3 crates of wood.
The gas plates didnt work efficiently.
- Karin (10/5): Very nice - Everything, quiet, tranquility, facilities. Nothing really
- Richart (8/5): It was amazing. Enjoyed every second. -

- wayne (8/5): Very enjoyable - Location Smell of septic tank
Fridge too small
- Khotso (10/5): -
- Kay-Lee (9/5): All round win for nature lovers - It's in the most beautiful edge of the forest. Surrounded by nature. It is a true getaway from the hustle and bustle but still close enough to enjoy all that Plett has to offer. Afficamps Ingwe goes above and beyond the normal Africamps' experience. Ingwe adds personal touches and attention to detail. From leaving braai wood for you to fresh drinking water. Everything is attention to detail.
Lize-Mari even came to chat with us. She offered her advice about attractions in the area and introduced us to her cute little doggie. We would definitely recommend Ingwe to couples or families like ours. Just very little- but it would be great to have a bathroom near to the pool. But other than that its fantastic

- Natalie (8/5): Lovely stay! Beautiful location. We really enjoyed the hot tub. - The location was amazing! The accommodation has everything you need. The bed was a bit too hard for us. Hurt our backs.
- Jason (9/5): Great accommodation with hidden extra costs. - Great view, air-conditioning in the tent to make it warm as well as small oven and mattress heating, easy check-in and check-out and very kind hosts. Only after booking the accommodation you get confronted with the fact that you need to purchase the wood and pay for a hot hot-tub oder indoor oven. This should be stated in the description of each tent with hot-tub or oven.
Also, a proper stick/tool we be nice to stir up the water in the pool.
- Marde (10/5): Perfect last minute weekend breakaway. - This was our third stay at an Africamps. Love the simple but practical design of the units. Works really well. Ingwe is such a great spot. It's picturesque from the moment you get off the N2. Lize-Mari was very responsive and accommodating. Really loved the internal fireplace for the evenings when it got a bit cooler. Great place to stay for when you are in the area. Nothing to not like. In the summer months I would suggest booking one of the units with the hot tubs, can imagine that would be enjoyable.
- Igor (10/5): Magnifique expérience - Deuxième expérience chez Africamps, et toujours aussi conquis.
Nous avons retrouvé la même configuration de logement que lors de notre première visite, et ce sentiment unique d’être seuls au monde. L’intimité est parfaitement préservée : les voisins sont suffisamment éloignés pour qu’on ne les aperçoive même pas depuis notre tente. Pour autant, nous nous sommes toujours sentis en parfaite sécurité.
Le jacuzzi reste un vrai plaisir. L’eau n’est pas limpide, mais cela fait partie de l’expérience : elle provient directement des rivières environnantes, ce qui lui confère une teinte ambrée due aux tanins naturellement présents dans la végétation locale — un détail charmant et authentique.
La communication s’est faite via WhatsApp pour les modalités d’arrivée. Bien qu’il n’y ait pas eu de contact direct, les échanges ont toujours été rapides, clairs et efficaces à chaque question posée.
La vue sur la réserve de Tsitsikamma était tout simplement splendide, et le logement parfaitement adapté aux enfants. On y trouve tout le confort nécessaire pour profiter pleinement de la nature, sans compromis. Bien sûr, cela reste une tente. La nuit, lorsqu’il y a du vent ou de la pluie, les bâches peuvent se mettre à claquer ou à bouger fortement sous les bourrasques. Cela peut troubler un peu le sommeil, mais cela fait aussi partie du charme et de l’authenticité de l’expérience en pleine nature.
Aussi, par rapport à une précédente expérience, il est peut-être un peu dommage qu’il n’y ait pas de petite réception ou point d’accueil à proximité de la piscine. Une présence, même discrète, aurait pu renforcer le sentiment d’accueil et faciliter certains petits besoins pratiques.
- Buys (9/5): - The indoor fire and the hot tub There were no comfortable chairs inside
- Wayne (9/5): -
- frieda (7/5): Prima - The location was perfect , Laundry service was good The prices for breakfast and braai are rather high. The air conditioning did not function so it was rather cold in the tent.
- Susan (9/5): -
- Fa-eez (10/5): - Great service and location. The accomodation had everything we needed.
- Dewald (9/5): -
- Sarah (10/5): Exceptional -
- Chamunorwa (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tarryn (9/5): Superb -
- Grant (6/5): - This was misleading advertising on Hotels.com. I selected a tent with 2 queen beds and a bunk bed for about R1700. Just before we arrived I got a call from the hosts and let them know that 2 friends would arrive 30 minutes before us. I was told that I would have to pay an additional R790 for them because they charge extra each person over 2. This was not made clear on the app. This accommodation was not worth over R2,500 for the night. Unhappy guests who feel ripped off.

- Stanley (9/5): Fantastic Stay at Africamps - Awesome environment and such helpful property managers. It was an enjoyable get away with fantastic views. Pillows
- Juste (9/5): Superb - Really nice tents with big comfort. The location is great. You hear lions are rowing, which gives a unique flavour in the trip. You need to pay an additional for firewood. Strange..
- Nina (10/5): Beautiful, relaxing and fantastic staff!! - Beautiful setting and excellent Glamping tent filled with everything you need and more. Always wanted to go and so happy we did. The variety of game surrounding the property was a cherry on the cake for us.
- Chantel (10/5): Relaxing. A great stop enroute to our final destination - Loved EVERYTHING about the accommodation. I’ve been to a few Africamps now. I just don’t like that on the booking form the advertised price excludes a Mandatory cleaning fee. If it’s mandatory why bother having it separate?? A clever marketing tactic to make the accommodation appear cheaper than it is.
Have an all inclusive price. Explained above.
We got wood but it was very wet and hardly usable. Maybe store wood inside tent??

- Arleen (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nadine (10/5): Exceptional - Very helpful and friendly stuff! It was very clean and the breakfast was perfect!
- Karen (8/5): Very good - Hosts were friendly and very helpful. We were able to ride our MTB's to nearby trails, past free-roaming antelope, which was very cool. Accommodation was neat and clean, and amenities adequate for our needs. Firelighters and at least some wood included in the price would be ideal, especially considering we paid for accommodation with a hot tub.
- Jared (9/5): Superb -
- Arleen (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gail (9/5): Superb -
- Julie (10/5): Exceptional - We have stayed here twice, once for our engagement and we said when we get married we will be back... and that is what we did. We even got the same tent as before. Love this place so much!
- Tanya (10/5): Relaxing, exciting and fulfilling! - We absolutely loved the farm that Ingwe is based on for its beauty as well as its location in the Crags. Wonderful views from the tents and fantastic to have the buck and deer wandering around. We also enjoyed the Couch Potato Trail. Nothing
- Michelle (6/5): Pleasant -
- Gouveia (9/5): Quiet, peaceful and cosy - The host gave us all the information we needed before arrival so check in was smooth. We enjoyed the "bush life". Location was perfect the shop was nearby. The breakfast and braai basket was amazing . Got to see some springboks and loved waking up to the birds chirping The debris in the hot tub

- Verified traveler (10/5): Glamping vom Feinsten - Mega cooles Zelt und sehr liebe Inhaberin, die uns ein reichhaltiges Frühstück zur Verfügung gestellt hat (gegen Aufpreis). Wir würden sofort wiederkommen. Den Kindern hat es so sehr gefallen. Die Stille und Ruhe nachts war schön.
- Ric (1/5): Bad -
- Kristen (8/5): Very good -
- Enid (9/5): Superb -
- Judith (9/5): Superb - Great view, comfy beds and a great hot tub
- Jenny (10/5): We had a most relaxing and memorable experience, we would love to go back one day 🩷 - Tranquil setting, unique accommodation, stunning views. There was nothing that we didn’t like, we would just recommend a couple of minor improvements… hooks in the shower for shower scrunchies, face cloths, etc and a mirror in the bedroom near the plug for hair drying / styling.
A small portable table to use at the braai area for drinks and snacks would have been very useful.
- Leigh (6/5): A lovely family weekend. - Overall, it was a great experience - the bonus was the aircon which worked well. The bedding was super clean and the unit was aired out and very welcoming. The smell of the underground water in the hot tub and shower wasn't pleasant. For the price you pay, would have been nice to at least have our braai cleaned each day - only serviced upon checkout which was also not a relaxing time for us moms having to do dishes. Also, there is no view from the beautiful firepit - blocked by bushes and the view from the deck is wonderful - would be nice to sit around the fire while enjoying the spectacular view. Being a first time Africamps family, it would have been nice to have a map as to where to drive to get to the communal pool and hikes
