ThabayaTholo Bush Camp. 3 Units. No electricity, gas & pariffin power included

Description

The camp consists of three luxury units, each with a double bed and two single beds (bunk- style), thus accommodating a maximum of twelve guests. The three units each have a car port. In keeping with the feeling of a bush camp, all power is either gas or paraffin.

All units have tiled showers and flushing toilets, a well appointed albeit small kitchen including stove and fridge and outside braai area from where feeding of game can be seen, breakfast or a sundowner enjoyed.

Though ThabayaTholo (meaning “ Mountain of the Kudu” in Pedi, the local Northern- Sotho dialect) is self catering, all gas, paraffin, cutlery, crockery, bedding and other linen is supplied.

Water comes from a borehole powered by a solar panel pump and is safe for human consumption. Each unit is supplied with one bag of wood per day. Additional wood as well as ice may be bought from the camp manager.

During and just after the rain season ( January - May) 4x4 wheel drive vehicles are strongly recommended.
