New life in Lefokeng

The Lefokeng Bush Camp is a fenced campsite within the boundaries of the Dinokeng reserve, Gauteng, and the new owner, Gerhard Mulder, has breathed new life into the place.

The larger grounds are 21 ha of which 1,5 ha is fenced with twelve stands inside. They’re spaced out and named after wild animals. These include the names Duiker, Lion and Buffalo, with no electricity on any of the stands except for Kudu. You therefore camp semi-self-sufficient, because the facilities include a bathrooms and a swimming pool.

Something unusual here are the open spaces at the stands.  Obviously these are cleared patches between the Bushveld trees, but most of them are big enough to accommodate two off-road camping trailers. So it’s the perfect spot to share a campsite with friends in the bush, with everyone bringing their own camping equipment. Where usually six people are allowed per stand, Lefokeng allows eight.
