We hope you like, we did.
Please meet....
There comes a time when you look at everything differently, you see beauty in things you'd never even acknowledged before, you see a grace in the great beyond you'd never thought to venture, and you see a purpose behind all of it, every place and every space.
Camdeboo is one of those places that is great even if all you do is sit still and look, its like a private holistic retreat, if you let it be, its one of our many heavenly spaces we have here in Africa, and its home, where many hearts are.
The National Park is located in the Karoo and almost completely surrounds the Eastern Cape town of Graaff-Reniet, which is the 4th oldest town in South Africa, after Cape Town, Stellenbosch and Swellendam.
The Karoo was formed hundreds of Millions of years ago and is one of the great natural wonders of the world. And Camdeboo National Park, which is which is over 19 400 hectares in size, provides a visitor with great insights into the unique landscape and ecosystem of this majestic place, but you'd be more impressed with the scenic beauty....its all just so vast and so beautiful.
The greater portion of the park is situated between 740 & 1480 meters above sea level on the foothills of the Sneeuberg Mountain Range. The Nqweba Dam lies within the park and covers about 1000 hectares when full. And at some places, doerites form jointed pillars, the best example of these being in the Valley of Desolation, one of the key features of this park and area. The pillars can rise up to 120 meters high. There is also excellent Game Viewing opportunities too, featuring the great bird life, the Cape Buffalo, Antelope and the Bat-Eared Fox.
Other than Trails, Walks, Game Viewing and Birding, there are also 4x4 Trails and may Watersport activities at the dam....but again, we just love the view, its a total breathing space.
Accommodation wise in the park, we again have a Tented Camp, and a Camp-Site. The Tented Camp, called, Lakeview, is actually stunning, where each tent sleeps two people and is fully equipped with necessary amenities.
