Description

AfriCamps at Bonamanzi Game Reserve is set within a 4,000-hectare private game reserve in KwaZulu-Natal, offering an unfenced safari experience where wildlife roams freely throughout the camp. Perfectly located between Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park and iSimangaliso Wetland Park, this camp is a dream destination for nature lovers and safari seekers alike. Bonamanzi Game Reserve is renowned for its on-site game drives, insightful guided bush walks, and a one-of-a-kind birding river cruise. Guests can encounter four of the Big 5, including elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopard, and over 400 bird species right here on the reserve.

Recognized as a Natural Heritage Site since 1995, the reserve features diverse landscapes, from Sand Forests and Savanna to Wetlands, making it one of Southern Africa’s top birding destinations. The eastern side of the reserve overlooks False Bay, the widest section of Lake St Lucia, while the lookout deck at Lalapanzi Dam offers a peaceful spot for sunset views.

In addition to 10 self-catering glamping tents, the property includes a communal pool area where guests can relax and enjoy the surroundings. The reserve also caters to team-building events with versatile conference facilities and group activities. Each tent features an outdoor wood-fired hot tub, perfect for unwinding with an African sunset.

The custom-designed glamping tents are fully furnished for a comfortable self-catering stay. Each tent includes a fully equipped kitchen, an open-plan living and dining area, 2 bedrooms, and an en suite bathroom. For year-round comfort, the tents are fitted with an indoor fireplace, electric blankets, a large rain shower, and a private outdoor wood-fired hot tub.

Wonderful stay in great accommodation in a captivating game reserve environment. Had a wonderful five-night stay, got more entranced by the reserve as the days went by. The Africamp concept and setup is brilliant, everything you need, in a magical setting. Two quibbles: the queen beds up against the wall are irksome for users and the cleaning team, really impractical; and a bigger fridge would be helpful.

Lovely. Wonderful stay. Suggestion to preheat the hot tub before arrival. We had no hot water, unfortunately. The staff were great, coming to check on this. Well appointed and well stocked kitchen. We will be back.

Hi Leanne, thank you for your review and thoughtful suggestions. We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay. We hope the brief lack of hot water wasn’t too much of an inconvenience, and we’re happy to hear the team was able to assist quickly.

Outstanding. Very nice stay, however they couldn't sort out the geyser, two days of cold showers.

Uitstekend. Baie lekker gebly, hulle kon egter die geyser nie uitsorteer nie, twee dae koue stort.

Hi Dennis, Thank you for letting us know. Please note after you reported that there was a problem with the geyser, we had it fixed. We do however encourage our guests to let reception know immediately when there is a problem so that we can have it resolved immediately.

Great camp, average game experience. The Africamps were great, but Bonamanzi as a park is limited in terms of game experience.
