Forget the game lodges, this is a place where you feel part of something really special. There are three wonderful canvas tents kitted out in true safari style but situated privately leaving you with a sense of adventure and connection. Rhiaan and Julie had a unique vision and we wish them well. We saw everything apart from leopard and with... More

It is hard to add to what other reviewers have written because Julie, Rhiaan and Sam have developed something very, very special at Quartermain's Camp which will stay in hearts for ever. We wanted an authentic taste of Africa and we got exactly that. The tented accommodation is extremely comfortable and inviting with fantastic hot powerful en-suite showers and toilets... More

We have just returned from two nights at Quatermain's camp which as so many others have said was a highlight of our holiday near Cape Town. We had researched options for visiting a game reserve and were frustrated by the range of interchangeable 5-star hotels where you look out at the bush rather than experiencing it. The whole idea of... More

Had two nights in Quatermain's with my wife at the end of March. Everything about the stay was wonderful! Very knowledgeable guides (thanks Craig and Yvonne!), lovely food (they really took care of my wife's dietary requirements) and great company around the camp fire in the evening. The owners are lovely too, really making us welcome and feel at home.... More

Just spent four lovely nights at Quatermain's in Amakhala. In short, it totally exceeded my expectations and was truly the adventure of a lifetime I'd hoped for. First, Quatermain's is very intimate: there are three tents in total accommodating six guests. It boasts a lovely outdoor fire and dining area and dedicated game trucks leave directly from the camp.

We are just back from a month in South Africa and Namibia and consider Quatermain's to have been one of the real highlights. We have safaried in the Serengeti previously as well as Addo, Kruger and Timbavati on this trip and the Quatermain's experience was second to none. Our very close up encounters with a wide range of animals from... More

One of our most memmorable visits in South Africa! Quartermain's camp is an excellent and very beautifull stay if you want to do a game reserve at the end of the garden route. You have a very unique oppurtunity to visit Amakhala as well as Shamwari for a great price! But above all, it's because you sleep in the comfortable... More

Thanks Riaan and the crew for an amazing "stepping back in time" experience. Friendly, and a fountain of knowledge from our field guides! Traditional food, close encounters with the animals, unique bush accommodation. What more can you ask for! As close as real safari you can get!

Stayed 3 nights here....just what I was looking for to surprise the wife. This place is a tented camp within amakhala game reserve and bordering shamwari. There are only 3 tents so the drives are very personal as you'll be a maximum of 6 people. Our ranger was Yvonne and she was fantastic. We also had the owner (Rehane?) do... More

Dear James, Thank you so much for your fabulous review, we're absolutely delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Quatermain's Camp. We would like to sincerely apologise for any confusion regarding our drinks policy, it does appear that some tour operators get us and some of the 5 Star properties on Amakhala that have all inclusive rates mixed up.

This was really one of my best experiences ever ! Julie and Riaan have established a very special wildlife accomodation which enables you to get in touch with what is called "the big five". It's central and also close to Shamwari Game Reserve, which is one of the biggest reserves in this South Africa region. It's close to Port Elizabeth... More
