Off-set from the main lodge, the campsite is located at the edge of the Mataka stream and right next to our little waterfall.
The campsite is made up of three sites and has an eco-toilet and hot water showers, a braai area and a fire pit each as well as a picnic bench.
Additionally we have two remote camping sites located in the forest. These sites have an eco pit latrine and located at the edge of streams. Note, these sites are remote, there is no fireplace, no running water or electricity. Perfect for really going off the grid!
