Luxury Accommodation
at Mount Camdeboo Private Game Reserve
Style your Great Karoo stay by selecting from a variety of accommodation types, from luxury manor houses and a romantic private cottage to secluded safari eco-friendly Pods. Every unit has been furnished to create an elegant yet relaxed, home-like atmosphere.
Set apart on the Camdeboo Plains, each of the two eco-friendly Pods occupies its own private, secluded position, blending seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. Designed with a light environmental footprint in mind, the spaces are both refined and comfortable, offering an immersive connection to nature with just enough distance from the outside world. Ideal for couples, honeymooners and wildlife enthusiasts, the Pods are best suited to individual bookings rather than shared group or family stays.

Both the pepper tree stay and the pods are a highly recommend stay that should be made by anyone looking for a special and unique experience.

The 1920s interior of the rooms sweeps you off your feet… I was so distracted by the beauty of the nature. It was stunning.
