AfriCamps at Mackers

AfriCamps at Mackers

Mpumalanga

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, nestled in the lowveld between Hazyview and Sabie, is the perfect place to relax and explore the beautiful Mpumalanga bush, the breath-taking Panorama Route, and the untamed Kruger National Park area. The camp is perfect for families, couples or close friends. AfriCamps at Mackers is a peaceful oasis for those who enjoy nature at its best in an undisturbed environment. Apart from the adrenalin-filled attractions in the area, the camp's sights and sounds are unforgettable, hear the bush babies and owls at night from the comfort of your tent, walk a few meters to dip your toes in the soothing Sabie river, unwind by the beautiful infinity swimming pool or hike along the river to see wild rapids upstream. The camp is perfectly positioned to spend at least a day in the Kruger National Park spotting the Big 5, or driving along the Panorama Route and experiencing the breath-taking scenery. God's Window, Bourke's Luck potholes and the Blyde River Canyon are all spectacular sights. Your hosts will gladly arrange tours for both routes. The beautiful Sabie Valley Nature Conservancy is home to more than 250 bird species. The camp has an honesty shop where kids can borrow a selection of games and fishing rods and you can get ice creams and cold drinks too.

The Three Boutique Hotel

Cape Town

The hotel is situated on Thesen Island and is a clever reinvention of a former power station. Throughout the hotel, you'll find reminders of its past, and clever use of architecture and design has transformed the building into a very comfortable place to stay. 

There is a cafe and bar, swimming pool, spa, a gym close by, parking and of course, there are plenty of things to do in the surrounding area including boat trips, nature reserves, nature walks and much more besides. A sunset cruise is not to be missed and if you're in the right season whale watching can also be arranged. 

The bright and comfortable rooms are all air-conditioned and have a balcony/deck, WiFi, minibar and television.

The Turbine Hotel

Knysna

Set right on the promenade in Sea Point, this beautiful old hotel is something of a local landmark. This splendid 1920's Cape Dutch building sits between the mountains and the sea. The terrace is the ideal please to sit with a coffee, or something stronger, and watch the world go by and enjoy the vibrant beach scene which is right in front of the hotel. 

There's an excellent restaurant and popular courtyard bar, there's also a beautiful spa which is very welcome after a busy day shopping or sightseeing. The rooms all have air conditioning, television, minibar and safe, loft rooms overlook the courtyard or table mountain and classic rooms are equally spacious although do not have a view of the sea.

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.
