Something not right?
Description
*Overnight camping/parking is NOT currently available at this location. Undergoing renovation. Plan to re-open end April 2024.
.....
Campsites right on the river. Well well-shaded, maybe enough sun for solar too. Braai and sink at each site. Restaurant and bar at the lodge, with wi-fi. A bit pricy at P200 pppn, but that seems the going rate.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Latest Check-Ins
Nice riverside camping, with boat trips and Chalets. Swimmingpools
Report Check-InThe lodge and campsites are currently closed (30 Sep 2023) while they are undergoing renovations.
Report Check-InVery friendly and helpful. Currently being revamped and probably need to book in first as they are concentrating on European tour companies whilst the work is in progress. A really lovely place to stay. We booked online.
Report Check-InAccess from the main road only 2.5 km. Under new management, campsites located right on the riverbank, with private brai area, electricity and sink. Showers and toilets are clean. Very friendly and helpful staff. At night you can hear the hippos and in the morning there is a beautiful sunrise directly opposite the campsite New price 250 pula
Report Check-InNice spacious and shady campsites, but this place has much more potential with more enthusiastic staff. Such a shame.
Report Check-InAs others have described. All OK but definitely overpriced at 200 pula pppn! Ablutions are looking tired and could be cleaner, but food in the restaurant is fantastic (even though they only had about a quarter of the menu items available!). Staff very friendly but I’m really not convinced they are providing the commitment to customer service they should be for this price! There was no water in the ablutions in the evening so they offered us an alternative toilet and shower behind the bar. It was not well maintained at all and no effort was made to even try and clean it up for us or restock toilet roll. Thankfully the main ablutions were working again at a reasonable time the next morning. Overall I felt disappointed with this site, given the hefty price tag!
Report Check-InSeems to be the better option in the area now. A bit pricey at 200 Pula p.p. There is free WiFi at the campsites, but slow. Everything site has its own sinkt and braai.
