Nestled in the Winterhoek Mountains of the Eastern Cape, the Bushcamp and Private Nature Reserve capture the serenity and beauty of the Karoo.

The camp is situated on a 2000ha malaria free private nature reserve. The reserve is home to kudu, impala, blesbok, springbok, wildebeest, hartebeest and mountain rhebok and is known for excellent sightings of rare mammals such as aardvark, klipspringer and caracal. Over 150 bird species have been recorded by visiting ornithologists, including a nesting pair of black eagles.

This is where savannah bushveld meets the Karoo, an area famous for its diversity of rare plants and succulents. Cycads, succulents and prehistoric elephant foot abound.

The bushcamp accommodates 10 persons in four privately located, thatched en-suite chalets with timber decks overlooking the river. Each chalet sleeps 2 persons each with the exception of the family chalet, which can sleep four.

The chalets are equipped with ceiling fans, heaters and tea/coffee facilities and all are individually decorated with twin or king size beds, made up in percale linen. Haaspoort Bushcamp is a four star lodge. Full board and self-catering options are available. Meals are served at the open thatched lapa and bar.

Delightful bush dinners can be enjoyed under the stars alongside the glowing embers of a traditional campfire. Brunch is served out on the swimming pool deck and true Karoo hospitality will leave guests recharged for the day.

The swimming pool is privately located near the lapa with generous umbrellas and comfortable pool loungers. Self-caterers make use of a large kitchen with separate kitchenettes for each chalet inside.

Each chalet has it's own braai area. Activities include game drives, bush walks, hiking, bird watching, mountain biking and star gazing.

Located in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa, 17km off the R75 between Port Elizabeth and Graaff-Reinet.
