An absolutely amazing experience filled with fantastic sights, beautiful service and overall an amazing weekend. Ask for Skye, she is an amazing host and she made the experience that much better! The chef at the restaurant is phenomenal and his food is even better! He is friendly and creates culinary masterpieces that are some of the best I've had. I am very excited about my next trip there!

AfriCamps at Oakhurst

AfriCamps is all about glamping at the most beautiful working farms, estates and reserves in South Africa. At each of our locations, you can get closer to nature without compromising on the creature comforts of home. Enjoy everything from hiking to hammocking, from seclusion in nature to romantic escapes, from family getaways to merry chaos with friends. The AfriCamps glamping concept offers guests the freedom and flexibility of a self-drive holiday, the closeness to nature of a camping trip and the luxury and convenience of a beautiful self-catering unit. Set up high in the mountains, Oakhurst is one of the few remaining large working farms along the South African Garden Route and covers a massive 640 hectares – 200 of which are pristine fynbos and indigenous forest. Eight AfriCamps boutique glamping tents overlook rolling green fields and the Outeniqua Mountains. Visit the dairy, hike, run, cycle, swim and take a guided horse trail. Soak up the views of the Outeniqua mountains in the distance from your own private outdoor wood-fired hot tub. It's the purest form of relaxation, while taking in the beautiful surroundings. On hot summer days, use the tub as a splash pool! Each AfriCamps tent consists of an outdoor wood-fired hot tub or splash pool, a spacious open plan lounge area with a comfortable couch, a dining area with a solid wooden table and seating for five guests, a fully-equipped kitchen, two bedrooms that comfortably sleeps five guests and a bathroom complete with a hot shower, flushing toilet and washbasin. Both bedrooms are furnished with a queen-size bed and have their own private entrance which allows maximum privacy. One of the bedrooms also contains a single bunk bed. Our tents are equipped with air-conditioning and an indoor fireplace. Enjoy a braai on our spacious wooden decks and take in the views from the comfortable deck loungers. Pull up the front covers and transform the tent into a large outdoor living area. Unwind and appreciate a festive family breakfast while taking in the serene natural beauty of the South African landscape. Our tents are equipped with Wi-Fi.

More luxorious than the Radison

Reviewed By Lejani5

As a couple seeking rest and recuperation, this stay was perfect. The host made every detail utterly special. From the neatly packed breakfast and braai baskets to being on call the whole weekend to assist us with extra firewood and firelighters. Thanks Tash, for all your effort! 10/10 do recommend the food baskets - the portion size is decent, declicious and made the getaway effortless. It's also noteworthy that this stay is perfect for winter getaways. We soaked in the hot tub the whole day till late then cuddled in front of the fireplace at night. Very cozy! Inside was very neat, clean, and well kitted. They think of everything you might need. Also good to know that they encourage green living as there was a tin for contributing to the compost heap. We return home with a full and rested heart - can't wait to return!
