Mount Camdeboo Private Game Reserve by NEWMARK

An Unforgettable Stay at Mount Camdeboo Private Game Reserve We had the absolute pleasure of staying in the Pod at Mount Camdeboo for two nights to celebrate my birthday — and what an unforgettable experience it was! The team went above and beyond to make the celebration special, even surprising me with the most incredible birthday cake. Their effort and attention to detail truly made me feel valued and spoiled. The food throughout our stay was phenomenal — every meal, from breakfast to lunch and dinner, was delicious and beautifully presented. A real highlight was the hearty oxtail stew served one evening — absolutely out of this world! The game drives with our guide Luke were both informative and adventurous. We were lucky enough to have sightings of both lions and elephants, which made the experience all the more thrilling. If I had to mention one small downside, it would be the shower in the pod — the temperature control was a bit off, switching between steaming hot and ice cold. But honestly, that minor inconvenience did very little to dampen what was otherwise an incredible stay. Highly recommend Mount Camdeboo to anyone looking for a luxurious and memorable safari experience!

An unforgettable place. We stayed for three nights in Pod 2 and absolutely loved our time there. The warm welcome, tasty food, incredible landscape, and sightings of all the Big Five, made it very difficult to return to reality. Colin was a fantastic guide, ranger, and conversationalist on our (mostly private) game drives. We would have stayed all week if we could! Mount Camdeboo is certainly not as accessible as other reserves in the Eastern Cape, but it more than makes up for it with stunning views and hospitality. Hope to return one day!

We spent 3 nights at the reserve in Feb 2025 and had a wonderful time. The staff were all friendly and helpful and our guide Colin was phenomenal 🙌. We enjoyed delicious meals and exciting game viewing and would not hesitate to recommend this reserve!
