Elephant Waterhole

Elephant Waterhole is tucked away in the northern reaches of the Dinokeng Game Reserve, offering an authentic bushveld experience within a Big Five territory. Located a short drive from Pretoria, this destination is a favorite for those who want the thrill of being in a wild reserve without sacrificing essential comforts. The camp is named for its proximity to a local watering hole, which often draws in wildlife, allowing guests to witness nature's daily rhythms from the safety of the fenced resort area.

The camping area offers an intimate selection of stands, each set on a combination of seasonal grass and level earth. A hallmark of the experience here is the focus on privacy; each site is equipped with its own dedicated ablution facility. These private blocks include a hot-water shower, toilet, and basin, ensuring you have your own space to freshen up after a day of game viewing. Most sites are also provided with a 220V electrical point and a dedicated wash-up area for dishes.

Life at the camp revolves around the outdoors, with a communal swimming pool providing a cool retreat during the heat of the day. For families, there is a dedicated play area to keep younger campers entertained between game drives. While the resort is peaceful and quiet, it is conveniently located near the reserve's self-drive routes, making it an excellent base for exploring. Whether you are listening to the evening chorus of insects or enjoying a quiet braai, the camp captures the tranquil essence of the Gauteng bushveld.
