Grootfontein Private Nature Reserve is a 600-hectare bushveld farm located 3 hours from Gauteng in the beautiful Limpopo Province, near the eco-tourism town of Thabazimbi. This working family farm welcomes all true lovers of the great African outdoors. It is off-the-grid and uses solar, gas and roaring campfires for hot showers, cooking and WiFi.

The reserve offers rustic accommodation in 6 bush lodges and 2 bush campsites that are all unique and perfect for short or long stays. The lodges have small splash pools and are furnished with king-, queen- or double beds and are mostly en-suite. All units contain a kitchenette with a gas fridge/freezer and a complimentary coffee station.

Visitors enjoy tranquillity and a pristine, untouched bushveld landscape that is home to a wide variety of animals, birds and indigenous trees. Since the farm does not offer the Big 5, guests are free to explore the area on foot, per mountain bike or self-drive game drives.

Description

Serengeti Bush Camp is located in a very private area on Grootfontein and ideal for small to medium size camping groups with their own tents or bush trailers. It is surrounded by the Waterberg and close to the local 4x4 route. Guests can bring their own mountain bikes. Serengeti is completely off the grid and in nature. That means, lights are powered by guests' car batteries at night (it doesn't drain the battery), and paraffin heated water is used for hot showers. There is no cell phone signal. Serengeti Bush Camp has 4 - 6 campsites and guests share an ablution block, a splash pool and a Bush Boma. Guests will also enjoy regular game sitings at the nearby waterhole.
