One of the highlights of our trip through South Africa. We had one if the tents in the valley camp. It had all the romance of a tent in the jungle but with a comfy bed, shower and stocked minibar (included in price) on the inside. From the bumpy but awesome 4x4 drive from the reception to the tents, to... More

Being back in SA I decided to show my husband best parts of the country - and one of them is Inkwenkwezi. You just can't get enough of this place. Everyone there makes you feel really welcome. This time we overnighted at Valley Camp that was comfortable, spacy and very well equipped. Food was great again! Special thanks to Byron... More

I really wasn't sure what to expect when this part of the trip was booked. From what I gathered, I was only staying for one night and thought it would end up costing the same as the rest of my 10 days in South Africa! I was very wrong however. When you book your accommodation you get allocated a guide,... More

Years ago, we spent several nights in the bush tents, which was phenomenal and benchmark setting. This time round we went for a day visit, for lunch and hopefully to interact with the Elephants. Out of this world , One on one. This is what makes Inkwenkwezi Top of the catagory. The interaction was arranged, after a five star lunch.... More

We stayed here on our last night following 5 days of trekking along the beach. We arrived expecting to be shown to our rooms but instead were driven about 30mins to the most stunning private luxury tents in the bush. The views were stunning...even from the bathrooms which are all open to the bush. We even had a Knysna Loerie... More

I spent there a weekend in August and lucky me - having a guide like Byron - I managed to see all kind of animals they have there. Accommodation was very exotic for an European used to 4-5* hotels, the view from balcony - breathtaking. Add to this friendly staff and excellent food - that's what makes a wonderful and... More

What an experience!! We stayed in Valley camp which was such an experience. Even though we where both scared of spiders and insects we had little to worry about. The tents where luxurious and well cleaned. Very few insects did manage to make its way in. We stayed for 1 night, we wish we could have stayed longer. Our guide... More
