André and Manda have created a lovely homestead type of accommodation on a piece of land near Kruger Park's Orpen Gate and the Eastgate Airport. André is an engineering whiz and he's rigged many gadgets on the place so that Amanzimloti Bushcamp is sustainable and user friendly. The place is located on the Klaserie River and its sunny here so... More

We got lost for 2 hours trying to find this establishment. The directions were terrible. Even the guard at the gate had never heard of this place. Mind you we had already paid for the room online. We met the manager, saw the "room" - if you can call it that. We specifically told the manager (because we got so... More

Oh Yes, Several reasons to remember this family! Dad had a birthday & he was so happy that my wife baked him a cake, but most of all young Yuval enjoyed his trip here so much, that he was our first customer who cried when he had to leave! Shalom to you all, Ora, Doron & Yuval More

We slept 3 nights in the tent, heart the lions roaming, woke up from bush babies and monkeys at 4 a.m., had Manda´s very good homemade food, enjoyed our outdoor bathroom - this was a real bush experience. Maybe some people might think that nature is not clean - if you mind insects, leaves and animals this is not the... More

Thanks for that. We found that Our German couples really enjoy being out in the bush, and experiencing the wildlife by listening to the night sounds. I think these were the people who sat so quietly at the fire, that a Civet Cat walked right past them without seeing them. Love you all. Amandre More

We read on their site that the accommodation would be 5 star backpacker quality and very clean however, that was not the case. We have now been around S.A and stayed in various backpacker places and this place are not even near their standard. Their description also said that whoever came to stay, Should not complain...and now we know why.... More

I am sorry they did not feel welcome. It is everyone's right to like or dislike anything. You however make a fool of yourself when two Medical Doctors and an Engineer / Lawyer couple just before and after you praise the exact same room you try to discredit. The Opinion of thousands of professional couples over 18 years is worth... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
This is not a regular business. Only two pensioners who can not live from the US$130 per month pension we receive, who are willing to share our little paradise with nice members of the public. IF YOU WANT TO COME HERE TO COMPLAIN OR GIVE NEGATIVE CRITICISM, THEN PLEASE DO NOT COME. We enjoy positive feedback and will try to implement good suggestions. We are in between the two top Game ranches in South Africa and we enjoy their animals and listen to them at night. We are directly on the Klaserie river where the leopard often roars at night. Here you will find no luxuries, but clean, functional and comfortable rooms. They have a queensize bed, a 3/4 bed, a air cooler, a roof fan, a DVD player, a kitchenette, a fridge, microwave and a BBQ spot. We even have European plugs to charge your phones or camera. Also free Wi-Fi. The Two bush tents have romantic open bush showers, and basic electric things. No Kitchen, but a coffee station and a BBQ. Please see our photos. ... more   less
