Mount Camdeboo Private Game Reserve lies just to the east of Graaff-Reinet in the heart of the malaria free Eastern Cape’s Great Karoo. Luxurious beyond expectation. Come and experience a personalised safari in a region that is steeped in history and culture. Guests are accommodated in four Cape Dutch houses that lie cupped in the palm of the Sneeuberg Mountain range. Once homes to generations of settlers, these magnificent homesteads have been sensitively converted into havens of five star luxury. FAMILY FUN Mount Camdeboo offers the very best family holiday you can imagine; a time to relax and enjoy special time with your family, to reconnect and share the excitement with your children as they discover Africa, up close! Accommodation in gracious homesteads means that children are not in separate units, rather comfortably next door or across the passage, just like home โ€ฆ Far more than just a place for children to experience nature and animals; rolling lawns means lots of room to run, play games, have fun with a soccer ball or explore the pathways through Camdeboo Manorโ€™s beautiful gardens โ€“ and generally, enjoy relaxing as a family. Daytime means safaris to see animals, fun in the gardens and around the pool, a visit to the small cat project – a highlight for our mini-guests, and lots of delicious โ€˜kiddie-friendlyโ€™ treats! Evenings around the boma fire roasting your own marshmallows, fireside stories and the thrill of watching a falling star – before heading off to bed to dream of todayโ€™s fun bug-safari and tomorrowโ€™s adventures that await! Every family deserves a family holiday on Mount Camdeboo!

Mount Camdeboo offers a variety of accommodation options, from intimate lodges to a sole-use safari villa, and for those wanting to immerse themselves in the bush setting, two luxurious safari tents.

CAMDEBOO MANOR

Dating back to the early 1800s, Cambedoo Manor is a fine example of Cape Dutch architecture. Wide Oregon pine floorboards gleam from generations of wear, while thick walls keep the untamed Karoo elements firmly at bay. A generous dining room with oversized fireplace plays host to nights filled with camaraderie and cheer.

Camdeboo Manor has four luxuriously appointed double bedroom suites which offer guests a truly private experience. And should the call of nature tug at their soul โ€“ they can simply slip out of their private patio doors onto a secluded courtyard and into the lush established garden that stands like an oasis in the desert heat. The fourth suite, referred to as the honeymoon suite, is situated in Camdeboo Manorโ€™s beautiful gardens, in what was originally the Gate House to the Manor.

HILLSIDE MANOR

Resting slightly higher on the Sneeuberg Mountain slopes than its counterparts, Hillside Manor offers magnificent sweeping valley views. Slightly more โ€œmodernโ€ than the other manors on the Reserve, this mountain retreat dates back to the early 1900s. Tastefully renovated, Hillside Manor is used to accommodate overflow from Camdeboo Manor when required. It is an ideal family option for group bookings with modern living spaces and three double en suite bedrooms. Given that the Hillside Manor property is unwalled, it is not uncommon to entertain surprise guests courtesy of Mother Nature.

COURTYARD MANOR

Dating back to the late 1700s, Courtyard Manor is a gracious, double gabled homestead wrapped in a deep veranda. Comprising four tastefully appointed en-suite bedroom suites, the manor honours its original name of Ou Werf (a bustling village square) as it is well suited to accommodating a private party where sociability and smiles feel right at home.

PEPPERTREE COTTAGE

Situated in a secluded part of Camdeboo Manorโ€™s beautiful gardens, Peppertree offers a romantic setting for honeymooners or couples seeking privacy. The spacious cottage features a King-size bed, fireplace, luxurious en-suite bathroom, kitchenette and a private garden.

SAFARI TENTS

Two privately located canvas tents raised on wooden decks, situated overlooking a seasonal stream. Accessible by a wooden walkway, each tent comfortably sleeps two in a Queen-size bed, with en-suite bathroom featuring a shower and WC. The spacious deck with outdoor furniture offers sweeping views over the Milk River Valley and picturesque Sneeuberg Mountain Range, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the bush setting. The tents can accommodate a maximum of 2 people. Children 12 years and older welcome, max 2 guests per tent.

DINING

Just like our menu, our evening dining venues are varied. One night you may be supping under the twinkling Karoo stars (an essential part of the African experience) – complete with full course silverware and a dedicated chef cooking right before your eyes. While another may find you dining in a secluded courtyard or even in the company of a roaring dining room fire. Itโ€™s a little touch of surprise and a highly enjoyable way in which to absorb the splendour and diversity that Mount Camdeboo has to offer you.

Our meals are friendly for wide spectrum of dietary types:

  • Halaal
  • Kosher
  • Vegetarian
  • Vegans

Mount Camdeboo Private Game Reserve is situated just to the east of Graaff-Reinet, in the heart of the Eastern Cape’s Great Karoo, and offers an exceptional malaria-free safari experience in a region steeped in history and culture. This 14 000-hectare or 35 000-acre property lies cupped in the palm of the Sneeuberg mountain range, the second-highest range in South Africa.

It provides guests with a unique game viewing experience due to the combination of four biomes and an altitude range of almost 5000 feet. From the bush thickets and riverine areas to the plateau grass plains with the backdrop of the majestic mountains, every game drive is a breathtakingly beautiful experience.
