A unknown dream come true. A blissful experience that nothing can top. The location is amazing. Peace & quiet. The tents are far apart so you feel like you are all alone. The beds are very comfortable, as is the bedding & the outdoor bathroom was utter bliss.

Property information

Camp Gecko offers you unique accommodation with real African romance. In our tented camp you can choose between one-storey and two-storey tent "bungalows". The arrangement of the tents allows each guest to enjoy the accommodation and the surrounding nature in private and undisturbed. From your private terrace with seating you have a fantastic view over the semi-desert savannah and the waterhole that is illuminated at night. In addition to our tented camp, we offer original campsites located on a hill. Each of these campsites is individually designed and, thanks to its elevated position, also offers a great panoramic view over the entire valley. All our tents and campsites have their own private bathroom (some open air) with shower and toilet, as well as a private BBQ area. Our tents and campsites are deliberately without electricity. You are welcome to use our secure charging stations in the reception area to charge your electronics and we are happy to store chilled food in our cooling units.
