We know you’ve been waiting for it. A reason to get out of your cosy nest, break out from under your comfy duvet, sneak away from the crackling fireplace.. okay maybe not, but did you know you’ll be getting all of that when checking in at any AfriCamps this winter?

Whoever said you can’t enjoy the outdoors during winter has never gone glamping with AfriCamps. Neither did they know all our tents are fully equipped for the chilly winter nights with an indoor fireplace, electric blankets and heater. To top it all off, we are happy to inform you of our chillingly low winter rates! (That’s about the only chilly thing about glamping this winter).

That said, we are also lucky to experience some beautiful warm days during the South Africa winter – so we still have plenty of opportunities for outdoor experiences. Have you heard we are also opening a brand new camp this July? Bookings for AfriCamps at Gowan Valley are now open!

1. Save up to R500 per night

This winter you can get cosy in nature while saving up to R500 per night. Book your stay starting from R1140 per night for two people sharing – that’s only R570 per person per night sharing.

In addition, AfriCamps at Mackers has partnered with a safari operator, Elephant Herd Tours & Safaris and we are offering guests the following rates for game drives in Kruger National Park until 13 June 2019:

R500 to spend?

Our last question to you is… what are you going to do with your R500 per day saving? We have some ideas…

AfriCamps at Doolhof, Wellington

Why not hire a Doolhof mountain bike for R150 a day to explore the area’s popular cycling routes, or make a stop at the tasting room to buy some of their award-winning wines? Treat yourself to a spa treatment in the comfort of your tent.

AfriCamps Doolhof Winter

Spa treatments in your tent or on the deck at AfriCamps at Doolhof. Prices available on request.

AfriCamps at Kam’Bati, Swellendam
Hire a canoe for R200 a day and explore the countless bird species that reside along the Breede River. Treat the kids to a round of putt-putt, or for the more adventurous, book your spot on Xama adventures’ river rafting excursion for R695 for the day. The rapids are especially thrilling during winter months.
