AfriCamps at de Pakhuys

Clanwilliam, Cederberg Mountains

A stay with AfriCamps is all about boutique glamping at the most beautiful working farms, estates, and reserves in South Africa. Their custom-designed boutique glamping tents are fully furnished with everything you need for a comfortable self-catering stay – from the well-equipped kitchens to the spacious showers. You can experience the freedom and beauty of the great outdoors, without compromising on the comforts you love. The tents are suitable for everyone, whether close friends, couples or families.

Each tent includes:

● Ensuite bathroom with shower
● Fully equipped kitchen
● Wood-fired hot tub (at selected camps)
● Outdoor BBQ area
● Tents accommodate up to 5 guests and are ideal for families and groups of friends.
● At each camp you can order a breakfast basket, BBQ basket and firewood at additional cost.

This camp is located in the heart of the Rocklands, in the northernmost part of the Cederberg Wilderness Area. Known for its dramatic wind-carved sandstone formations, vibrant springtime flowers, and ancient rock art, the rugged Cederberg landscape is a place of unique natural beauty.

Nestled between striking rock faces and picturesque vineyards in the Agter-Pakhuis Valley, the 10 fully equipped boutique glamping tents welcome nature lovers, adventure seekers and those simply looking to recharge their batteries. There are multiple hiking trails between boulders across the property with welcome sights of rock pools and a waterfall on the property, and walks with San rock art in the area. If you're lucky, you might even spot the elusive Verreaux's eagle, nesting high against the cliffs. A scenic drive to the top section of the farm (accessible only with a 4x4 vehicle) takes you to 60 hectares of rooibos tea lands, 260 hectares of unspoiled fynbos gorges blooming with wildflowers in season, and a rock cave - the perfect spot for a picnic. Alternatively, take a more laid-back approach and spend the day at the camp swimming in the farm dam, or sipping some fine wines at the winery next door.

The lodge is located a short 10 km drive southeast of Anderson Gate and sits in a 5000-hectare private game reserve which shares a border with Etosha National Park. The main building is surrounded by large, ancient mopane trees in a wild setting. The reception area is reached via a curved wooden walkway that leads through tall grass and around gnarled trees. There is a restaurant, bar and al fresco dining area as well as a stunning arc shaped swimming pool with a sundeck. There is even a private airstrip if you need it. Meals are usually served on the outside deck overlooking the well-frequented waterhole, with the exciting sounds of nocturnal nature as your soundtrack. The spacious chalets have been thoughtfully located and placed so far apart and aligned so cleverly, that there is no sign of a neighbour. As a result, the rooms offer a high degree of privacy and unobstructed views of the savannah. Each one has a private sundeck with loungers and armchairs, they are all air-conditioned with a fridge, tea and coffee station, outdoor shower hidden in a tree and safe. Spend the day on game drives where you’ll almost certainly see elephants and rhinos along with a whole host of other wildlife. In the evening grab a good book and relax on your chalet’s terrace while birds are chirping, and zebras are braying in the distance. The perfect spot to admire your special surroundings in the shade of the mopane trees.

How our Tent Ratings work

​

These are based on our personal experience of the hotel, camp or lodge and should not be compared against ratings you find elsewhere. We intend to guide you and don’t be put off by a low tent rating as some of our favourites fall into the 2 and 3-tent categories.​

​

It is also important to bear in mind that standards vary from country to country and a 4-tent hotel in South Africa cannot be compared with a 4-tent hotel in another part of the world. 

To summarise our grading system, we have considered the following.

High in both quality and luxury of experience, and property must have ‘wowed’ us on many levels.

This is our benchmark for excellent service and experience, location and /or activities. 

Good relative value, excellent location and/or experience, and offering an ideal base for exploring the area.

Budget-focused stopover property, sometimes it’s the ideal location on a driving itinerary.
