Matamba Bush Camp | Rates | Reviews

Description

Located in the stunningly beautiful Waterberg region of the Limpopo province at an altitude similar to Johannesburg, Matamba has one of the best climates in the world, with mild winters and temperate summers it can be visited all year round. With easy access from Johannesburg and Pretoria (only 2,5 hours drive). Just off the R33 between Vaalwater and Lephalale, Matamba is an ideal weekend getaway or stop over on the way to Botswana.

Tau camp has five individual campsites: Francolin, Hornbill, Drongo, Oriole and Kingfisher. All sites are 150 to 200 metres apart so are very private. Each site can accommodate either a couple or several families from the same group.

Mara’s camp is our private and exclusive campsite which can only be booked and accessed by one group at a time. It’s situated in the middle of the farm in a beautiful thick woodland with lovely tall shady trees.

Weaver camp (overnight) is a secluded campsite surrounded by large Wild Seringa and Bush Willow trees, it’s been specifically set up for our overnight guests. Like all of our sites, it has no fences so blends beautifully into the surrounding bush. Matamba’s wildlife are constantly in and around the site, creating the perfect camping experience.

Matamba is a awesome camp sites for someone who wants to be in the bush away frome other campers. There are 5 camp sites near the pool. The ablutions are amazing. Camp Mara is secluded, probably a 30 min walk away from the other camps. Its near a hide and small dam. The bush is so beautiful and brings back memories of family holidays in Zims. Thank you Carol

Lovely private campsites with the best ablution facilities you could hope for - private outdoor shower (under a tree), basin and loo. Lots of birds and game and great walking trails. Power and water at each site. Wood delivered by request.

Excellent bush camping experience. Quiet and peaceful surroundings. The ablution facilities are stunning and stilishly rustic. I would recommend an additional toilet or two. We will definitely be back, we'll done

Very good camp with private campsites and nice abolutions. Enjoyed the walking trails in the camp to see some game incl the giraffes of the the camp. Easy booking experience.

After a self drive camping trip to Botswana, we needed a last stop on the way to the airport, and luckily found Matamba Bush camp on Google. We were so impressed with the neatness of the site and the oasis of an inside/outside shower and toilet hideaway, with hot water, which was a welcome respite after the dusty & dry Botswana. In the morning we took a walk on the trail paths to see some of the game, and felt very calm and safe there. Truly a special place.
