Authentic bush camp experience

Honeyguide Tented Safari Camps offers a unique blend between a classic stay in safari tents and the best of contemporary design. It consists of two camps in total, Khoka Moya and Mantobeni, just with twelve large tents each. Every one of them is appointed beautifully, with some elegant touches. The tents are reminiscent of the Hemingway-style safari. There's a very comfy kingsize bed, huge couch to relax on, and a perfect bathroom.

Whereas the safari tents are classic, the main lodge area reflects a much more modern African style. It indeed is a stylish structure in the middle of the South African bush. This is the place where you gather for meals, activities, a drink or just to socialise with other guests. You can lounge around in the indoor or outdoor areas, or select a fine bottle of South African wine from the climate controlled wine cellar. Of course, there also is a pool, a very welcome luxury after a day of safari in the bush.

Activities at Honeyguide Tented Safari Camps

Of course your stay in Honeyguide revolves around a daily routine of making safaris and exploring the bush. Game drives are conducted twice a day in special 4x4 safari vehicles. The rangers possess a vast knowledge about all that lives and grows in the area, and happily inform you about it. Morning gamedrives usually start around half past five in the morning, taking you deep into the large Manyeleti concession. During the drive you will stop for a (much needed) cup of coffee and light refreshments. After breakfast there is time to unwind, you may choose to retire to the privacy of your tent, broswe through the small in-house library, or relax at the poolside. Another gamedrive start around half past three in the afternoon and continues to just after dark. This allows you to spot nocturnal animal species, an exciting experience. A sumptuous dinner under the stars awaits you when you get back to the lodge.

Tripadvisor comments about Honeyguide Tented Camps

We slept so comfortably in the tents - I was very pleasantly surprised as I normally have trouble sleeping in new places. The bed was huge, the pillows were amazing, the bedding clean and smelled fresh and the mosquito net was set up every night by the staff so when we returned to the tent after dinner everything was all set up.

Emily B from Saint Julian's, Malta

We stayed 1 night at Khoka Moya camp and 3 nights at Mantobeni. We would gladly return to either camp in the future, we were very well taken care of and very comfortable at both camps. We enjoyed the lively family atmosphere at Khoka Moya and didn't find the children to be overly loud.
