Mount Camdeboo Private Game Reserve by Newmark

My family and I have been to this wonderful place before and it was because it was so amazing that we booked to go for my 50th and take my parents. We had the private lodge with our own guide, and staff. Nothing was too much trouble from the surprise birthday cake to the special dinner on my actual birthday. Our guide Solomon was second to none (thank you Solomon!). The location was incredible and the game drive up to the summit was sublime. Nothing could have made my birthday more perfect. Thank you to everyone at Mount Camdeboo for really going the extra mile. It was wonderful.

We booked for the 'best of both' package deal. We spent two nights in the lodge (not the main one which is where we took meals but one that is about 300m away down a well-lit pathway). Then we spent our third night up in the pod which is an absolute must. Both the lodges have swimming pools, and luxurious beds and typically luxurious lodge furnishing. For the pod experience you get taken up to the pod with your meals and dropped off for the night. There's a glorious wood-burning hot tub, unbelievable views, and a sky so full of stars it will take your breath away. We didn't see any animals besides impala from the pod but the night air was full of lions roaring and baboons barking. The food is excellent and all local alcohol is included. Also included are two game drives a day. We saw lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo and all manner of buck. Our ranger was Charl, and he is incredibly knowledgeable about not only animals but also birds and plants. He was really great. To be fair, all the staff are great - Nthabiseng communicated with us throughout and made sure that my vegetarian request was attended to. Highly recommend - if you're looking for a spot for an indulgent get away... this is it.

Ein Muss Das Hotel war ein super Erlebnis. Die Leute freundlich. Das Beste waren jedoch die Ausflüge in die Wildnis, die jegliche Erwatungen übertrafen. Einmalige Erlebnisse.

"An experience to remember" A true "safari" experience in the bush. Our every need was catered for in a professional and friendly manner. The food was exceptional too ! The warmth and hospitality of the staff was outstanding. Particularly our professional game guide Ryan. He went out of his way to make our encounters with the animals something to remember.

We stayed in Camdeboo Manor for 2 nights during which time we were the only guests in the whole estate, this gave me the opportunity to look at the other options. Courtyard Manor, Hillside, Peppertree and the Pods....the pods were very luxurious given their location but I think we made the right choice. The room and manor as a whole was gorgeous, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The gardens were just a please to relax in. The staff were all so freindly and the food was very good. If you're going to Camdeboo for Game Drives you could be dissapointed as there is a lack of sightings but they are there. What made the drive special for us was the scenery which was beautiful ....and how elephants can climb up the steep hillsides I will never know.

Das war nun schon der 5. BESUCH INNERHALB EINES JAHRES - und jedes Mal haben wir diesen einzigartigen Ort mehr als ungern verlassen, aber immer mit einem Rucksack wunderbarer Erlebnisse. Kommt man an, fühlt man sofort die familiäre und sehr individuelle Atmosphäre, die durch die Ruhe der Landschaft noch unterstützt wird. Massentourismus a la Kruger etc. - weit gefehlt. Dazu ein Team, das ganz unaufdringlich diese Tage unvergessen macht, auch kulinarisch!!! Hier wird frisch gekocht und aufgetischt und auch hier sind individuelle Wünsche kein Problem. Die Game Drives sind dann der absolute Höhepunkt, wobei man immer zwischen den Stühlen sitzt und sich zwischen dem Verbleib im traumhaften Außen-und Innenbereich und den ebenso spannenden Pirdchfahrten entscheiden muss. Entscheidet man sich für die Ausfahrten weiß man oft nicht, was beeindruckender ist - die Landchaft und die Fahrt durch diese (echtes Fahrzabenteuer!!) oder den Tierbeobachtungen, die man hier nicht teilen muss. So bleibt auch hier viel Zeit für Individualität. Herzlichen Dank an das gesamte Team in der Küche und im Service, an Rudolf unseren amazing guide!!!!, an Justin und sein Team für das herzliche Willkommenund die unproblematische Vorbereitung. Die sehr gute Kommunikation mit dem Newmark-Team soll natürlich ebenso Erwähnung finden. Wir freuen uns auf 2025. Alles erdenklich Gute dankie, enkosi kakulu and thank you very much.
