Limited off-grid campsites are available for the more experienced and adventurous campers. You get to enjoy a truly wild adventure by camping in the unfenced area of the reserve amongst the free roaming big five, where you may encounter not only the night sounds of the bush but also a visit from our nocturnal animals, such as serval, porcupine, black-back jackal, lion, hyena, and others. This is not for the feint-hearted. All wilderness campers must be self-sufficient, with your own water, ablution facilities and solar power. No generators are permitted, and 2 porta-potties are available for rent.
