Food
Please remember that all AfriCamps locations are self-catering. If you are not ordering our meal baskets, please make sure you pack your meals, and everything needed to cook them. We provide salt and pepper, but any other spices, sauces and cooking oil must be packed.
Firewood
Due to the Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer (PSHB) Beetle threat, no firewood may be brought into the reserve. Safely sourced firewood can be purchased from the shop.
Swimming towels
AfriCamps provides towels, but guests are asked to please bring their own swimming towels for the swimming pool.
