Mapesu Wilderness Tented Camp

The wilderness camp is the ultimate luxury glamping experience. I booked this stunning place for a long-delayed celebration. Our stay turned out to be a boutique offering, with wonderful people who clearly love what they are doing, whose attention to detail is stellar, and who work well together. The manager on duty, Andre, is incredibly knowledgeable and warm, and the welcoming team and communication is top-notch (thanks Mulamuleli). In addition to the views, proximity to animals, comfortable room, pool, and facilities, it would have been worth driving the 500km just for the delicious dinner. I hereby abandon all restraint and recommend the chocolate mousse (which was clearly made from scratch). Thanks Itu. The night game drive on the expansive grounds was a unique experience, and though windy, the animals, and stars made it magical. Thanks Michael. Don't be distracted by the tent and camp description. Mapesu is a gem, and I hope that more people can experience its loveliness near the site of one of our continent's ancient civilizations (Mapungubwe). The facilities and the rooms (in the tent) are spotless, comfortable, well-designed, and safe. We enjoyed the outside bathrooms, and we are already planning a return later in the year.

Everything worked and the team are attentive to even the smallest needs of guests. Easily the best way to welcome the new year in.

un merveilleux endroit au coeur de la nature, dans la savane

Andre is a brilliant host. Great food. Lovely location.

No complaints. A coffee maker in the room would have been appreciated though

Really in the bush, tranquil,

Tent needs a door to bathroom, not a zipper, difficult in night to go without waking partner up! Food was slightly above average, but not great! Expensive for SA residents
