“Well kept campsite. Ablutions are clean, showers are really hot and the camp manager, Brown, takes pride in keeping everything in shape. Popular with overland trucks.” - JP Groenewald, 2023/09/08
“Only 4 campsites are available as well as 5 Ndebele huts. All make use of the one ablution.” - Mietsie Visser, 2015/10/08
