We had an unforgettable stay at Eagles Nest Bush Camp in August 2025, located between Bela-Bela and Thabazimbi. From the moment we arrived, we felt a sense of peace and tranquility. The camp, which is small and private, offers just eight spacious stands, each with a braai area, private ablution facilities, and a small kitchen area. The solar-powered camp has excellent water pressure and warm showers, making it a perfect eco-friendly getaway.
Nestled in a beautiful bushveld setting, the camp is home to wildlife such as kudu, blesbok, and even a rare black rooibok. There are walking trails to explore the peaceful surroundings. The boma area, complete with a kitchen, laundry facilities, and free Wi-Fi, became a great spot to relax and socialize with fellow campers. Frans and Tertia, the owners, went above and beyond to make us feel at home, hosting a pizza night in the boma’s pizza oven and organizing a fun rugby screening on Saturday nights.
The camp has a great family-friendly atmosphere, with a play area for kids, while the adventurous can enjoy hunting weekends. Despite the activities, it maintains a calm, laid-back vibe ideal for reconnecting with nature. The camp is easy to reach with well-maintained roads and excellent security.
An unexpected highlight was discovering that one of the other camping couples were the original owners of our caravan! It made for great campfire stories.
Overall, Eagles Nest Bush Camp is a peaceful, welcoming, and well-equipped retreat in the bush. We left feeling refreshed and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend this hidden gem! 10/10.
