AfriCamps at Oakhurst, Wilderness

Oakhurst in Wilderness is one of the few remaining large working farms along the Garden Route. Once you see this property, you will know why we simply had to set up camp! The massive 640-hectare farm is covered in bluegum trees, farm dams, indigenous forest and authentic farm activities. The eight new AfriCamps tents face rolling green fields and the Outeniqua mountains in the distance. The Garden Route is an old favourite and glamping at AfriCamps at Oakhurst is an exciting new way of exploring it. Check availability and book now.

AfriCamps at Mackers, Hazyview

After being based in the Western Cape for more than three years, it was time to spread our wings and branch out to the beautiful South African Lowveld. So, in July 2018, AfriCamps at Mackers opened on the banks of the Sabie River just outside Hazyview in Mpumalanga. All 10 AfriCamps tents are built just a few meters from the streaming river and are surrounded by the indigenous forest and birdlife of the Lowveld area. This new AfriCamps destination is a perfect start to access the Panorama route or the Kruger National Park, which are both two of the most popular tourist attractions in South Africa. Check availability and book now.
