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.

  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.

  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.

  Peaceful place off the beaten path - This camp is far from the usual tourist areas, but since we had some matters to take care of in the more-or-less nearby town of Musina, it was a nice... read more place to enjoy the quiet of the bush. We stayed in a safari tent, which was comfortable and clean. The communal kitchen had everything you needed for preparing whatever food you brought in, whether you used the kitchen or the barbecue outside your tent.

  Idyllic camp in an ancient landscape - This is the sort of place we'll come back to again and again. We chose Kaoxa because it's right next to Mapungubwe - a place of extraordinary beauty and... read more fascinating history. Koaxa's setting is just as beautiful, with outstanding views across the kopjies to Botswana and Zimbabwe. The cottages are simple but have electricity and fans. The swimming pool is enormous and the shared kitchen well equipped. David and the rest of the staff were very friendly and helpful but also discrete - it really did feel like we had the place to ourselves. If basic living and isolation, big skies, and views are your thing, then this is the place for you. I recommend making time for the rock art which is just a quick walk down the track - it is something quite special.

  Fabulous! - We only stayed for 1 night, as we were basically transiting from Kruger to Botswana. However, another time, I'd stay longer. It is a beautiful place to be - the... read more views are just stunning. The rooms are beautiful, made to make the most of their natural surroundings. We travelled as a family (2 adults, 3 children) and the kids loved it here too. The sense of space and freedom (oh and the lovely swimming pool!) The facilities - kitchen, dining area were all top notch. A beautifully thought out place to stay in a stunning location.
