Maroela Camp

worth a note about Maroela ...
the regular invasions of the honey badgers have come to an end. I was speaking to folks in December who visit Maroela every month or so, and they say the honey badgers have stopped scrounging in the camp. The new badger proof bins seemed to have made the difference! Those steel bins with the twist up and sideways were apparently not badger proof, but these box bins with recyclable and non recyclable seem to have done the trick
Now we need the same to be done in Tamboti!!

Good info!

Hi there

Does anyone have recent photos of Maroela or info

How good is the shop at Orpen stocked, meaning meat and fresh veggies etc

I will post some photos of Maroela camp:

Some of the camp sites, nice sites next to the fence and lovely big tress for shade







The ablution block is neat and in the men's side there are 2 toilets, 3 showers(water pressure a bit low but ok) and 4 basins



There is a look out point on the river side



Camp site with a river view



The communiall kitchen area, there are 2 freezers for campers without freezers for the cold stuff



Looking towards the entrance gate from inside camp



This is a nice quiet camp with lots of nigh time noises and animal activities outside

Thanks very much for the info, Harry!

Not sure if one wants to hear "nigh time" noises too much?

Are you scared RP

Lions where roaring around camp for the last 4 nights we where there and we found there tracks in the road every morning but no Lions
The 2nd night we where there, the Ellies where not in very good moods and they where trumpetering and breaking trees in the veld now that was scary
