Magoebaskloof, Valley of the Olifants, Limpopo

Magoebaskloof Getaway is the perfect Stopover between Johannesburg and the Kruger Park. It provides a welcome stopover for holiday makers.

There are 12 camping sites on this beautiful 64ha farm with about 4ha of gardens and 1.5ha of dams. It is a touch of magic between mountains and streams, a real oasis of peace and tranquillity where one is able to unwind and enjoy the lush subtropical vegetation.

Each 10m x 10m site is clearly demarcated by drainage with each site clearly numbered. Each site has its own braai area with a light that can be switched on and off by yourself so that you can see your meat and what you are doing on the braai table. Underneath the braai table is a spot where you can put your braai wood or charcoal and big black dustpan right next door. There is also a spot in the camping area where there is a supply of cut up fire wood that if needed can be bought at R10/lug box.

The female section of the ablution facilities has a shower with a glass pivot door and a changing area and 2 toilets. The basins are modern with mirrors above each basin and a water tight plug point with a mirror just above the plug. The males section is exactly the same as above except that there is a urinal included. All the floors in the ablution block and kitchen are tiled with black slate tiles.

Each site has their own socket outlets and is protected by it’s own 15 amp circuit breaker with an earth leakage (as required by law). Each site also has it's own tap for drinking water etc. but not for washing oily items as that is what the kitchen is for. There is a central area to do the dish washing etc., with a fridge/freezer, urn, x2 toaster, two plate stove and a table top for a working area. There are also electric points in this central working area. The camping area is lit up with lights at about every second site making it a little more homely and visible. There is also a Sauna close to the ablution facility.

Camping Costs: The cost for a single person is R80 or else it is R120/night for the first 2 people and then you only pay an additional R30/person/night thereafter up to a maximum of 6 people to a site with out any other hidden costs.
