Mount Camdeboo Private Game Reserve by NEWMARK

Om From the moment we arrived at Mount Camdeboo, we knew this was going to be something special. Nestled in the vast, rolling landscapes of the Great Karoo, it offered the perfect combination of luxury, tranquility, and untamed beauty. Private, Peaceful, and Perfectly Catered We booked a 3-bedroom house, and it truly felt like a retreat of our own. The privacy was unmatched, allowing for a peaceful escape into nature. One of the highlights was having our own private chefs, who prepared and served incredible meals. Every dish was of an exceptionally high standard—beautifully presented, full of flavor, and made with care. Having all drinks includedwas a fantastic touch, making every moment even more enjoyable. The hot tub was another luxury that added to the experience—it was ready anytime, day or night, making it easy to unwind while soaking in the breathtaking surroundings. Exceptional Service & Guiding The team at Mount Camdeboo made the experience unforgettable. Every staff member was warm, welcoming, and genuinely invested in ensuring we had the best stay possible. A special mention must go to Rudolf, our ranger, whose knowledge and passion for the wildlife made every game drive both fascinating and educational. He explained everything so well, adding depth to each wildlife encounter and truly enhancing the adventure. The reserve is a bit off the beaten path, but that’s precisely what makes it so special. The facilities are thoughtfully designed, from comfortable accommodations to convenient parking and well-kept communal areas. Final Thoughts – Would I Recommend It? Absolutely! But book the 3-bedroom house rather than the rooms.

The pods are exceptional with amazing views and a great place to wind down and relax. Sitting by the fireplace and star gazing was swamping. Game drives were great with cheetah and lion sightings.

It was luxurious in a fantastic setting. We saw loads of animals and had 2 game drives included. Food and drinks also included and were excellent. Definitely a trip highlight and worth splashing out on. No need to stay in the pod as the lodge itself was stunning. Very good service from staff.

Our stay was a bit unusual. While we looked forward to our stay in the pod, an extreme turn off weather forced us to stay in the lodge facility instead. The lodge was beautiful and the manager and staff were very flexible in making the alternative arrangements work out for the best! Dinner (lamb shank) was everything I dreamed of!

Very picturesque place, beautiful views of the sunset. Very private and away from everything which makes the experience with nature and safaris more spectacular. Excellent staff and service. The food is very South African and delicious. Very good wine cellar. The breakfast was very remarkable and complete. The safari climbing the mountains was remarkable. Regarding the ecological modules, I don't know if they are convenient because they have an electric fence that means you can't leave the place, so although you have incredible views you can't move, I don't find it pleasant.
