AfriCamps Hoedspruit, Limpopo - Glamping on a scenic dam in South Africa’s safari capital

Tucked away near the world-famous Kruger National Park, AfriCamps Hoedspruit offers an unforgettable glamping safari experience in the heart of the Greater Kruger region. Eleven boutique glamping tents are spread out along the edge of a tranquil dam, frequently visited by wildlife including nyala, zebra, kudu, waterbuck, and bushbuck. Bird lovers will be in their element with an impressive variety of species to spot right from your deck, braai area, or outdoor wood-fired hot tub.

The dam is also renowned for catch-and-release specimen fishing—you might even hook a carp over 10 kg, along with bass, bream, and barbel! Whether you’re fishing, birdwatching, paddling your canoe, or simply relaxing with a drink by the pool, the calm, natural setting is perfect for recharging. This family-friendly camp brings you an affordable Lowveld safari experience without compromising on luxury.
