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

I have been going to Kaoxa for quite some years now, i specialise in bird ringing research expeditions, where we look for birds of prey to catch ring and release.... read more One of the highlights of my expeditions is staying at this bush lodge, first of all the view is spectacular, a view across the beautiful Mopane veld and over the Limpopo Valley, where you can see Botswana and Zimbabwe in one binocular vision! There is a pool in the lodge running some 30m long ending in a lovely pool under the lovely shade of a Marula tree. The birdlife in the camp is spectacular. we have had elephants, lions, leopards and so much more game all around us. There is an electric fence to stop elephants coming into the camp to rip up the water pipes in the dry season! The rooms are lovely, clean and the bathrooms such fun! The kitchen is big and more than adequate for any demands.
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.
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
Spent a fabulous 5 nights at this wonderful rustic bush camp for photographic work purposes. Due to the slump in tourism as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic I was... read more the only one staying there which was utterly lovely. David the camp manager was very friendly and helpfull. My tent had everything I needed. I will definitely come back again.
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.
