LOCATION
Framed by the Sneeuberg Mountain Range, Mount Camdeboo stretches out over 14 000 hectares of beautiful, private land where impressive vistas form unparalleled backdrops for game viewing. Here, a diverse range of topography and dramatic landscapes, from lush valleys to sweeping plateaus can be absorbed. Over the years, much love and dedication has been poured into the development of this property from agricultural farm land into a pristine game reserve in line with Mount Camdeboo’s vision to conserve the land and provide a natural habitat where wildlife, including endangered species, are able to roam freely. Guests are able to enjoy memorable experiences such as scenic helicopter flights, game walks, cheetah tracking and stargazing. The reserve further affords guests easy access to a range of attractions as it is set in proximity to the historical town of Graaff-Reinet, Nieu Bethesda and the breathtaking Valley of Desolation.
ACCOMMODATION
Accommodation forms either three historic and beautifully restored Cape Dutch houses or two luxurious safari tents that lie cupped in the palm of the majestic Sneeuberg Mountain range.
Mount Camdeboo offers the discerning yet adventure-seeking traveller a variety of accommodation options. From intimate lodges to a sole-use safari villa, and two luxurious safari tents for those wanting to fully immerse themselves in the bush setting.
Camdeboo Manor
Camdeboo Manor has four luxuriously appointed double bedroom suites which offer guests a truly private experience. And should the call of nature tug at their soul – they can simply slip out of their private patio doors onto a secluded courtyard and into the lush established garden that stands like an oasis in the desert heat. The fourth suite, referred to as the honeymoon suite, is situated in Camdeboo Manor’s beautiful gardens, in what was originally the Gate House to the Manor.

Tastefully renovated, Hillside Manor is used to accommodate overflow from Camdeboo Manor when required. It is an ideal family option for group bookings with modern living spaces and three double en suite bedrooms. Given that the Hillside Manor property is unwalled, it is not uncommon to entertain surprise guests courtesy of Mother Nature.

Courtyard Manor
Dating back to the late 1700s, Courtyard Manor is a gracious, double gabled homestead wrapped in a deep veranda.

Safari Tents
Two privately located canvas tents raised on wooden decks, situated overlooking a seasonal stream. Accessible by a wooden walkway, each tent comfortably sleeps two in a Queen-size bed, with en-suite bathroom featuring a shower and WC. The spacious deck with outdoor furniture offers sweeping views over the Milk River Valley and picturesque Sneeuberg Mountain Range, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the bush setting. The tents can accommodate a maximum of 2 people. Children 12 years and older welcome, max 2 guests per tent.
Dining
The Karoo has a strong heritage of flavour-rich, traditional cooking. The talented chefs at Mount Camdeboo have been inspired by recipes that date back to the early Cape settlers, reinvented with a light contemporary touch. These wholesome meals are seasoned with herbs grown on the Reserve while the balance of delicious ingredients are brought in fresh from neighbouring farms and suppliers.
Our meals are friendly for wide spectrum of dietary types including halaal, kosher, vegetarian and vegan.
Experiences
Abundant in history and nature, the town of Graaff-Reinet provides a peaceful getaway from the bustle of everyday life. A mere 45 minute drive away from Mount Camdeboo, Graaff-Reinet boasts many interesting and unique activities.
GAME DRIVES & GUIDED BUSH WALKS
A stay at Mount Camdeboo includes two game drives per day
(averaging about three hours each) at optimal wildlife viewing times,
namely: pre-dawn and sunset. The vehicles used on the reserve are
purpose-built, nine-seater game viewing Land Rovers. They are SABS
safety approved and are equipped with seatbelts, a shade canopy
and drink holders. Given that the Camdeboo Manors are nestled in
a valley, the game drives typically start with a breathtaking climb up
the mountain slopes and onto the plateau above where the animals
graze and where the world unfolds at guests’ feet.
Private safari vehicle: Extra charge (day runs from 12H00 on day of
arrival to 10H00 on day of departure, subject to availability).
Guided bush walks offer an alternative to a normal game drive,
subject to the whole vehicle opting to walk.
About THE GREAT KAROO
The Great Karoo is considered a semi-desert region. Arid air and cloudless skies are typical of this area, as are great heat and frosts. Daytime is
typically warm, while nighttime and early mornings can become cool, even in summer months. This climate results in a very particular landscape,
dotted with xerophytic vegetation. The topography on Mount Camdeboo is however quite different, boasting lush valleys, due to its location at
the foot of the Sneeuberg.
