Shakila Safari Bush Camp

An absolute gem in the rough. The private deck, jacuzzi, gorgeous bush and beautiful night sky makes the trip. The tent itself was clean, comfortable and spacious. Love the outside shower. The braai area is also really nice for socialising. When we got there, there was no running water but Tinus was so hands on and friendly, and the problem was resolved quickly, despite it being in the late evening. We were checked on daily. The road is a bit rough for an ordinary sedan, but if you are really careful, it's okay (in dry weather). The room did get cold as the tent flaps were a bit worn, so maybe a little bit of maintenance on the Velcro is needed. That being said, heaters are available in each room of the tent, as well as an extra blanket. We will definitely be back.

One of the best place to relax, unwind and just do nothing. We spent 5 days there and not once did I feel like I needed to be doing something except reach for another cold one from the fridge. sit and watch the bush and all the bird life.Sit and watch bush TV every night (for those who have no idea what that is, it is the fire).We Jacuzzi ever night and loved it.I would say that it is a horrible place so that no one else books it when I want to go but that would be unfair to all those who need to get back to the bush and just relax.We loved the place and can not wait to go back.

We stayed in the Aloa tent, it is private and far enough from the others so you won't be bothered. The kitchen and tent has everything you need (some equipment is a bit old, but still functional). We spent a lot of time in the jacuzzi and around the fireplace. It was a great and relaxing getaway! Would definitely return for another visit.

A time to relax and enjoy Gods country. Sitting in a hot jacuzzi overlooking the bush. Plenty bird life. Tranquil and very private. An escape from the city and a time to collect ones thoughts and let your hair down. We come hear every chance we get. I hear its pet friendly too. Self catering.

What a devastating experience! We used to love going there but the crime has gotten out of control and the owner has not been honest or done much about it! We had tourists there on the 26th November 2021 and we were reassured that the owner has upped the security and we would even have a personal security" for that weekend. We'll

Such an awesome quite place..great views and great adventure.Wildlife always roaming around and if there is not much noise they can pass by the camp sites. These tent are equipped with fridges and small kitchens with everything you can need, private jacuzzi and showers for small tents..big tents have bath tubs as well. If you need a place to relax and be away from all pressure this is the place...there is little to no network coverage to calm you down.

Beautiful setting, right in the heart of the bush. Tented Camps with everything you might need :)Had a great time with friends, specially the awesome warm jacuzZi looking into the bush valley.We unfortunately did experience a while lot of rain during our stay and at point the tent has some leaking ( definitely some maintenance needed! )There was also a lekker big Lapa one can use when such weather conditions arise with everything one might need.Otherwise a wonderful set place with a whole bunch of hiking to do and birds to see :) *Only 2-3 star rating considering the old appliances n outdated maintenance needed !

Very peaceful and quiet environment, the accommodation and kitchen facilities was up to our expected standard being a tented accommodation. The farm itself was disappointing as none of the road were vehicle friendly. We have a four-by-four vehicle but the branches and bushes has overgrown the roads. We booked for five nights and ended up staying for three. I can recommend this venue for a breakaway weekend in a Nature environment, but the activities and farm in general is nothing to be excited about

We recently visited the Bush Camp for 2 nites, it was very beautiful and really enjoyed our stay.The tents and bathrooms,kitchen are well maintained.The Jacuzzi was also clean and kids friendly.The owner checked up on us everyday and making sure that we are comfortable and thanks as well to the booking agent who assisted us with the bookings.

Beware...crime syndicate in the area. We weren't warned of prior incidents. The email from Shakila stated that if we see people moving about we should not be worried as they have guards patrolling (which in actual fact is one aged guy). We were a group of 12. Thieves were most likely watching us the entire day as they entered the tents in the 1 hour gap while we all were sleeping. Phones, watches, bags, jewelery and cash was stolen. Very suspicious that the thieves knew to travel over 25 kilometers on foot over mountainous and very rugged terrain to come and check if anyone was staying there. Inside job perhaps?
