It was great to really go 'bush' at Kaoxa Bush Camp last month, September 2018. We saw a few giraffes, ellies, lizards, mps, zebra, and on the day we left,... read more a dead ellie . Virginia was a super helpful lady too. Hopefully one day we'll be back soon. This is really THE place to get far from the madding crowd.

  The rock art at Kaoxa, is astoundingly easy to access and is well preserved for now. Numerous images of game and people abound, and there are some images of locusts... read more which are seldom seen. Well worth the visit.

  After looking on internet all interesting comments and a stunning place. We decided to book 3 nights selfcatering.
Arriving at the place, nobody was there. After searching in the field,... read more we found to workers, who guided us to the guy who was in charge. He told us we are the only 2 guests and the owner is in the UK. He shows us the old tent and a kitchen on distance. Because of roaming of elephants we have to take care.
The old tent has ripped zips, just a small table and 2 beds. With 39 degree no fan to give some cooling. What was disgusting when we saw the ‘bathroom’. We did not want to stay there. We are curious how this place can be awarded with stars?
Such a pitty

  If you want to be away from everything with very limited internet access this is the place to be.

The closest shop is like 60km away. So make sure... read more you are well stocked with food and drink before arriving.

The staff is very friendly and accommodating as this property is very isolated.

The kitchen and shared dining room are well equipped.

Have to admit I was the only person there as my travels was off peak. It was great to have the whole cmap to myself.

Well worth a visit if you into nature, relaxing, and no or very limited internet.

If you like your comforts this will certainly not suit.

Again make sure you have enough food and drink before arrival.

  We stayed here for one night before going to the Limpopo Forest Tented Camp. The price I thought was good for what we got. It is basic with a tent... read more giving a larger than normal double bed , a bathroom( shower, toilet and basin) . There is also a verander with an outside barbeque .

The tent and bedding was clean , however the tent is a little shabby and could do with some of the fastings being tightened . The view was breathtaking from our verander. A surprise was the Leopard track I found by our barbeque !!!! . The bird life is prolific.

There is a communial kitchen which has everything one needs for a self catering holiday . There is a fridge for each tent . The only downside was that should you wish to barbeque at your tent there are no kitchen facilities therefore unless you have your own with you it is a small schlep . Suggest a kettle in the room as once again one needs to walk to the kitchen or have a flask to make coffee and this is not ideal.

The pool is fantastic .

This is a wildlife area and it is advisable to carefully check if you plan on walking anywhere .

The staff were very helpful.

I would definitely overnight here again . Value for money

  This was our third visit to Kaoxa but our first in summer. As always, the staff are charming and helpful, the place is simple, rustic, neat and clean, and the... read more opposite of 'bling' which is one reason we love it. This time, with temps in the 30s, we really appreciated the cottage ceiling fans which kept us cool and kept the mozzies away at night, and dipping in the unusual, attractive swimming pool. But what was special was being able to explore on foot (at one's own risk, of course) the bush and the koppies and appreciate the abundant summer flowers and migrant birds. For example, at the wetland we had a close sighting of a relaxed saddle billed stork, and in a single dead tree I saw a little bee eater, purple roller, Diederick cuckoo and monotonous lark. Not that many animals, as there had been good recent rains, so they were dispersed - but saw plenty on a day trip into Mapungubwe. And there is still hardly a bush view to beat the one from the cottage verandas or dining area deck: the sweep across the valley, dotted with koppies and baobabs.
