Camping at Jabula

Jabula in the Dinokeng Reserve north of Pretoria is known for its luxury tented camp, but now this popular holiday resort has also added five separate bush camps. While the luxury tents are fenced, there’s no barrier between the campsites and nature. This means any of the Big 5 can unexpectedly walk through your campsite, although there’s enough of a clearing around you so you won’t be caught unawares. Each of the five bush camps is a cleared spot in the natural vegetation and is set a good few hundred metres apart. Most of the stands have some shade. The camps all have their own bathroom with a basin, toilet, and an indoor and outdoor shower. A gas geyser provides the hot water and a solar panel the light. There’s also a fire pit and a dishwashing area, but no electricity. Price R138-R207 pppn, depending on the season and day of the week (R70-R90 for children aged 6-12). Up to eight people per site (plus two vehicles and two caravans). This excludes Dinokeng’s tariff and selfdrive day permits. Contact 078 948 6781 jabulabushcamp.co.za info@jabulabushcamp.co.za
