Africamps At Ingwe
$100-180 / natë
Rezervoni këtë nëse You want the 'Out of Africa' fantasy without the discomfort of actual camping, perched high above the Garden Route forest.
Pse Njerëzit E Duan
- Private wood-fired hot tubs with valley views (in 3 of the 6 tents)
- Proximity to The Crags' animal sanctuaries like Monkeyland and Birds of Eden
- Elevated decks that make you feel like you're sleeping in the tree canopy
Shikim i shpejtë: It’s glorious glamping that nails the aesthetic, but remember you're still in a canvas tent—so bring warm socks and don't expect room service.
Rishikuar nga @Tunnelvisionexplorer: I drove down to this incredible glamping spot and it was the perfect reset. The private hot tub overlooking the valley was the highlight of my trip. It's the perfect mix of adventure and comfort—totally peaceful and private.
Mysafiri Që Qëndroi Këtu Tha
Reality check

- You want to hear lions roar from the nearby sanctuary while sipping wine in a hot tub
- You are a family who needs space (2 bedrooms per tent) but hates setting up camp
- You plan to explore Nature's Valley and Plettenberg Bay but want to sleep in the quiet forest

Xhini i dhomës
Zgjedhjet më të mira

- Tents at the ends of the row generally offer slightly more privacy on the deck.
Dhomat për t'u shmangur

5 gjëra që duhet të dini përpara se të niseni
💡The hot tubs take a solid 2-3 hours to heat up; start the fire the moment you arrive.
💡There is no oven in the kitchen, just a 4-burner gas hob and a microwave.
💡The bunk bed room is tiny—perfect for kids, but tight for full-sized adults.
💡You might find local wildlife (monkeys/baboons) testing your tent zippers; keep food locked away.
💡The 'free wifi' is often too slow for video calls inside the tents; go to the lodge if you need to work.
