The tents are on raised wooden platforms that extend out over the edge of the dam and provide a private deck for your tent and kitchen. The accommodation is rustic but clean - beds very comfortable with new mattresses. The tent ceiling is a standard room height and large enough for two adults with space for 2 kids on fold... More

Excellent place to chill out. The tented camp is luxurious for a reasonable price. All is there to have a relaxing weekend having your BBQ (braai) diner while hearing the roar of a lion. Not so many game though in the park and, in rainy season, very difficult to spot.

Very cute 'tents,' which are really semi-permanent canvas-and-wood structures perched around a lake. They are attractive, spacious, and well-designed. Sleeping 2 adults and 3 kids was not a problem. The tent has a shower, bathroom, and bedroom, and then a large patio connects to a second smaller room where the kitchen / dining room is. Beds and linens are new... More

Fully equipped tented camp next to a beautiful dam. We had a great time at Tlopi tented camp, we've spent the last 3 night of our trip at Tlopi. We had a lovely relaxing time there, and it's only 250 k form Joburg.

From each tent you have a terrific view. It´s self catering, a simple and clean room with bath/shower, the kitchen is closed with some glass walls and nets now at least your food is safe from the monkeys, they are really quick.

In the Marakele National Park, this tented camp is a definite must if you enjoy beautiful mountain landscapes, and peace and quiet. When we were driving to camp, we came across a family of white rhinos crossing the dirt road. The park hosts is one of the largest breeding colonies of Cape vultures. The camp is self catering so don't... More

If you enjoy the wilderness then this is for you. The sounds of nature, not man, surround you, except when fellow residents leave or return to their tents. Plus the floor boards in the tents make a lot of creaking noises when people walk about. That said most of the time there is tranquility. The tents are basic but comfortable,... More

Marakele NP is the perfect place for people who are looking for wilderness though with all the facilities you wouldn't expect in a camping site. Each of the tents in the Tlopi tented camp is clean and has lots of room (two adults and three kids could fit in) and comes with an open patio with a basic dining table,... More
