  • star rating  We landed up at Tankwa Tented Camp thinking we were staying in the Tankwa National Park.
    We clearly made a mistake, but we were so glad we did. This... read more was so different, so interesting and so far out of our comfort zone. The management were were incredibly accommodating of our specific dietary requirements, and also very happy to indulge us with our many questions about the resort.
    If you want to “ rough it a little”, this is a must and i highly recommend it.

  • star rating  I spent 26 days in this camp and it was a great period. Elzebeth and Wessel welcome you and take care about your bush comfort. Expect bush lifestyle indeed with... read more a smiling staff, great sky all the day, hot showers after the sundown, clean bedding under your tent, solid breakfast with strong coffee, Afrikaans meals for your quiet diner, clear tasty drinking water, and ice cubes as you wish for your drinks at the raw bar... and if your addiction to wifi persists after a few moments in this unique silent place lost in the middle of nowhere, you still have the privilege of remaining connected to the default world via a voucher.
    If many bikers hit the dirt road and land here, if some burners are noisy some evenings to share their happiness, you have some lovers of the Karoo who can explain the beauty of the landscape around a great fire prepared by the hosts.
    Enjoy the camp site.

  • star rating  This was the third visit for me, but a first for my wife. We rented a chalet (number 3). The chalet was spotless and overlooked the vast nothingness of the... read more Tankwa. Tankwa is possibly the most unique place you’ll ever come across partly because it is so remote but because of sense of something indescribable...just magic. Deon met us and immediately made us feel so welcome. A few drinks at Onverklaarbar and we were set for the evening. However, Deon had more tricks up his sleeve. We went to watch the sunset , armed with G&Ts and a tie to honour the sunset and at the same time to watch the full moon rise.
    After that a table was set up for us on a roof top with candles to enjoy a braai under the full moon. I could carry on, but let me say just this. There are very few places I have been to that provide this level of personal service that is down to earth and simply incredible.
    Thank you Deon and your crew. See you soon!
