Camping in South Africa
Posted: Sun Jun 12, 2022 11:59 am
Decided to post this under "Camping" as not a Travel Tale. Spent 8 weeks from October/November/December 2021 going from Western Cape to Kruger entering at Pafuri Gate, through the Park and back to WC through KZN and EC.We not longer put up the tent for one night stops, so guest houses were used, anyone wants recommendations PM me.
Two campsites under review: Dinokeng outside Pretoria. Campsite in question, pleasant, own ablutions, bit close to neighbours which is a downfall, we would never stay again if stay involves Friday to Sunday, huge party venue. We saw wildebeests, impala, giraffe, duiker, etc from the campsite, prolific birdlife but noise!
Nyalazi KZN borders Hluhluwe-Imfolozi, most site overlook said park. Small site, shared ablutions, quiet, spent most of time in the park, as Wildcard means no entrance fees, etc. Saw from the site, giraffe, zebra, buffalo, unmentionables, impala, sometimes elephants are seen. Could have spent a lot longer there.Owner lives on site and took us on walks, to look for chameleons and to identify and taste wild plants used as cooking herbs, etc.
