ZVAKANAKA CAMPSITES
The camping ground consists of five sites: William’s, Sam’s, Chimangy Moonrise, Shady John’s (named after our employees who worked on the farm and who helped to build them) and Swiss (named after a Swiss couple who begged for a space even though we were full, so we cleared a space and it became another site)! All sites boast wonderful mountain views and are situated down near the wetland – far from the cabin and cottage.
EACH SITE HAS EXCLUSIVE SHOWER AND TOILET FACILITIES
SAM’S
William’s and Sam’s each have 2 toilets and a shower for their exclusive use in the block that sits between the two sites. The water is heated by an electric geyser. Chimangi Moonrise, Shady John’s and Swiss sites each have their own flushing toilet and shower unit on the site. The water is heated by gas.
William’s & Sam’s Toilets & Showers
WILLIAM’S
The sites are set far apart from each other, and each site is carefully designed for maximum privacy and to have a lovely view. All sites have:
- A water point.
- An electric kettle.
- A 4 plate gas stove.
- A sink with a cold water tap.
- A number of sites for tents and a caravan.
- An electric light and a power point.
- A braai stand with braai grid and ground fireplace.
- A cement-floored shelter offering shade and some protection from the weather. Shady John’s Shelter has a timber floor.
A generous amount of wattle firewood is provided per site. More wattle may be purchased by the wheelbarrow-load. There are bags of hardekool for sale.
There is an automatic washing machine and soap provided at a small charge. This is located next to William’s toilet number 1.
There is a sink with hot and cold water for dishwashing next to the toilets and showers between Sam’s and William’s.
CHIMANGY MOONRISE
No Minimum per site and a site could take up to 10. We reserve the right to limit numbers in each site depending on how booked the other sites are. We do not want to overcrowd the campsite.
SHADY JOHN’S
There are numerous trails cut on the farm, a path across the wetland takes you directly into the bush favoured by Robins, Shrikes, Trogons and Turacos. You can then choose whether to wander gently or take a steeper hike to the very top of the cliffs where (if you are lucky) you will look down on the Lanner Falcons which nest on them. You may also see Crowned Eagles and Verreaux’s Eagles soaring along the cliffs.
SWISS
Fabulous outdoor shower & bath (plus undercover shower)
PLEASE NOTE: The campsite, with its private, secluded sites, is not intended as a party place. It is a place where family and friends can stay being assured pf peace, silence and privacy. If you want a place to party, Zvakanaka is not for you!
