Roodewal is on the banks of the Timbavati River on the S-39 gravel road 19km North of Timbavati Picnic Spot.

It consists of 4 twin-bedroom huts, one of which has three beds per bedroom, all with en-suite bathrooms with showers - thus accommodating a maximum of 18 persons.

It has to be booked as a whole.

Geysers, fridges, freezers, stoves etc. operate on gas, while a generator runs for part of the day, charging batteries for the lights!

There is no shop, wood, ice etc.

No cellphone reception.

Over R5 000 per night, MINIMUM! ^0^

And no joke getting a booking either!

We'll book via one of the tour operators, not Central Reservations. ;-) O**

Roodewal was one of the "first generation" new private camps, along with Boulders and Jock of the Bushveld. It is now almost thirty years old, and was refurbished a few years back.

Nwanedzi and Malelane were also private camps for a while, so only Roodewal and Boulders remain...interesting! :-?
