Nestled in the Winterhoek mountains of the Eastern Cape, Haaspoort Bushcamp Private Nature Reserve captures the serenity and beauty of the Karoo. The Bushcamp is situated on a 2000-hectare malaria-free private nature reserve, home to a large variety of wildlife and rare flora. The four private thatched en-suite chalets complete with timber decks overlooking the river, offer you all the privacy and comfort you need for a enchanting African safari. Enjoy a sunset game drive or bush walk or simply relax by the pool and watch the day slip away. Self-catering and full board options available.
The reserve is home to kudu, impala, blesbok, springbok, wildebeest, hartebeest and mountain rhebok and is known for excellent sightings of rare mammals such as aardvark, klipspringer and caracal. Over 150 bird species have been recorded by visiting ornithologists, including a nesting pair of black eagles. This is where savannah bushveld meets the Karoo, an area famous for its diversity of rare plants and succulents. Cycads, succulents and prehistoric elephants foot abound. Haaspoort Bushcamp is owner run & managed by fifth generation Karoo settlers, Victor & Lindsay Watson.
