Ons was 3 gesinne met kinders. Die kidszone was 'n goeie verrassing vir die kinders.

Die kamp was puik! Alles was netjies en skoon.

Algeheel het Africamps at Mackers al ons verwagtinge oortref.

Africamps at Mackers - ’n Ongelooflike glamping-ervaring. Africamps at Mackers het ons verwagtinge heeltemal oortref. Die tenthuise is pragtig en luuks ingerig met alle moderne geriewe wat mens nodig het, insluitend ’n gemaklike bed, volledig toegeruste kombuis en ’n heerlike privaat stoep met ’n asemrowende uitsig oor die Sabierivier. Die omgewing is rustig en perfek vir natuur- en wildliefhebbers. Ons het veral die staproetes en die nabygeleë besienswaardighede geniet. Die gasheer was vriendelik en behulpsaam, en het gesorg dat ons verblyf onvergeetlik was. Africamps at Mackers bied ’n ideale wegbreek vir diegene wat ’n kombinasie van natuur en gemak soek. Ek kan dit sterk aanbeveel en sal beslis weer terugkeer.

Overall, Africamps at Mackers exceeded all our expectations.

Africamps at Mackers - An incredible glamping experience. Africamps at Mackers completely exceeded our expectations. The tent houses are beautifully and luxuriously furnished with all the modern amenities one needs, including a comfortable bed, fully equipped kitchen and a lovely private veranda with a breathtaking view of the Sabie River. The surroundings are peaceful and perfect for nature and wildlife lovers. We especially enjoyed the hiking trails and the nearby attractions. The host was friendly and helpful, and made our stay memorable. Africamps at Mackers offers an ideal getaway for those looking for a combination of nature and comfort. I can highly recommend it and will definitely return again.

Nie wat ons verwag het nie.

Ons het gehoop dit sou 'n rustige naweek-wegbreek wees na die mooi tentekamp wat mens op die foto's sien. Ons het nie verwag dat elke moontlike area rondom die tente deur enige iemand gebruik mag word nie. Dus hardloop en skreeu kinders en ry met hul fietse oral om die tente rond. Daar is absoluut geen privaatheid nie. Ongelukkig was ons tent ook die een wat die mees geskikte visvangplek binne 2 meter reg voor die tent gehad het. Die tente is inderdaad mooi en redelik goed ingerig, daar is wel 'n paar goed waaraan aandag gegee sal moet word bv. behoorlike skerp messe om kosvoorbereidingswerk te doen (ons moes my man se Leatherman gebruik) Die vrieskasgeriewe is te klein, dus laat weet gaste om ekstra geriewe saam te bring indien nodig. 'n Klein mikrogolfoond sou ook gaaf gewees het, siende dat daar ander luukshede soos lugversorging in die tent is. Die badkamer was als behalwe skoon, die toilet area ruik na urine, wat heel moontlik in die hout vloer ingetrek het en die wit oppervlak van die stort het gedeeltelik verkleur na bruin. Ek het gedink dis weens ouderdom, maar het met "sanitiser" 'n gedeelte in 'n japtrap spierwit skoongemaak net om te bevestig dat dit vuil was. Dan kry mens 'n stel reëls saam met jou inklok-informasie, wag glad nie deur gaste gehoorsaam word nie. Ons moes die Vrydag-middag reeds die kinders by die swembad gaan vra om hul harde musiek af te sit en dieselfde aand die kampbestuurder kry om die mense se musiek te kom stilmaak, terwyl die reëls baie duidelik uitspel: Geen musiek toegelaat. Die Saterdag-aand was die musiek weereens hoorbaar, nie so erg nie, maar steeds. So in geheel was ons ondervinding nie goed nie.

Not what we expected.

We hoped it would be a peaceful weekend break to the beautiful tented camp you see in the photos. We did not expect every possible area around the tents to be used by anyone. So children run and shout and ride their bikes all around the tents. There is absolutely no privacy. Unfortunately, our tent was also the one that had the most suitable fishing spot within 2 meters right in front of the tent. The tents are indeed beautiful and quite well furnished, there are a few things that will need attention, e.g. proper sharp knives to do food prep work (we had to use my husband's Leatherman) The freezer facilities are too small, so let guests know to bring extra facilities if needed. A small microwave oven would have been nice too, seeing that there are other luxuries such as air conditioning in the tent. The bathroom was anything but clean, the toilet area smelled of urine, which most likely seeped into the wooden floor and the white surface of the shower had partially discolored to brown. I thought it was due to age, but with "sanitiser" cleaned a section in no time pure white just to confirm that it was dirty. Then you get a set of rules with your check-in information, don't expect to be obeyed by guests at all. We already had to ask the children at the pool to turn down their loud music on Friday afternoon and get the camp manager the same evening to come and turn down the people's music, while the rules spelled out very clearly: No music allowed. On Saturday night the music was audible again, not as bad, but still. So overall our experience was not good.

Absolutely peaceful.

If you are looking for peace and quiet then I would suggest AfriCamps in Hazyview. We were welcomed by Romeo the security on duty who was so helpful and friendly. The following morning the owner came and check in on us as well. Very beautiful and peaceful. Will definitely recommend it and will be returning soon.

Dit was asemrowend en baie romanties.

Enigste voorstel wat ek wil maak is die tente teen die rivier het die mooiste uitsig, maar dit word bederf met die boom wat langs nr 9 geval het. Daar is absoluut niks fout met die boom wat daar lê nie, maar sy takke maak meeste van jou uitsig van die rivier toe. As 'n mens by die braai sit, sien jy niks van die rivier nie. Dan ook die lang gras by die tente ─ ek weet dit groei baie vinnig langs die rivier, maar dit lyk baie slordig. As julle dit net in stand kan hou is die verblyf 100/100. Sal definitief weer soontoe gaan.

It was breathtaking and very romantic.

The only suggestion I would like to make is that the tents against the river have the most beautiful views, but it is spoiled by the tree that fell next to No. 9. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the tree lying there, but its branches spoils your view of the river. If you sit at the braai, you see nothing of the river. Then the long grass at the tents ─ I know it grows very fast along the river, but it looks very unkept. If you can only maintain it, the accommodation is 100/100. Will definitely go there again.

Dankie aan Michelle wat ons verwelkom het. Natuurskoon wat jou asem wegslaan. Glamping op 'n asemrowende skaal.

Hierdie natuur juweel kon nie as 'n beter plek gekies word om in absolute gemak agteroor te sit vandat jy daar aankom en dadelik die natuur te kan geniet nie. 'n Visarend het voor ons verby geswiep in die Sabieriviertjie en 'n bokkie het die laatmiddag nuuskierig kom inloer. Netjiese tent met skoon linne, alles wat jy nodig het in die toegeruste kombuis en dan Michelle wat met 'n stywe handdruk ons verwelkom het. Ek was impressed. Hierdie wegbreek was absoluut sy sout werd. Ek beveel enige tyd AfriCamp at Mackers aan vir diegene wat wil rus. Dankie AfriCamp at Mackers!

Thanks to Michelle for welcoming us. Natural beauty that takes your breath away. Glamping on a breathtaking scale.

This natural jewel could not have been chosen as a better place to sit back in absolute comfort from the moment you arrive and immediately enjoy nature. An osprey swooped in front of us in the Sabie River and a kid curiously dropped by in the late afternoon. Neat tent with clean linen, everything you need in the equipped kitchen and then Michelle who welcomed us with a firm handshake. I was impressed. This getaway was absolutely worth its salt. I recommend AfriCamp at Mackers anytime for those who want to rest. Thank you AfriCamp at Mackers!

Glamping ten top.

De stijlvolle inrichting van de stenten en de betoverende liggingen (in dit geval aan de oever van de Sabierivier) vormen een topcombinatie bij Africamps. Het contact met de eigenaar is goed verlopen. Het aangevraagde ontbijt en werd de dag voordien in de ijskast geplaatst. Het grondpad naar de tenten is met een eenvoudig sedanvoertuig te bereiken. Het eerlijkheidswinkeltje was handig voor hout, water en andere levensmiddelen. Een mooie uitvalsbasis om zowel de panoramaroute als het Krugerpark te bezoeken. Ook zeker te vermelden: mooi zwembad met fantastisch uitzicht.

Glamping ten top.

The stylish design of the stents and the enchanting locations (in this case on the banks of the Sabie River) form a top combination at Africamps. Contact with the owner went well. Had requested breakfast and was placed in the fridge the day before. The dirt road to the tents can be reached with a simple sedan vehicle. The little honest shop was handy for wood, water and other foodstuffs. A nice base to visit both the panorama route and the Kruger Park. Also worth mentioning: beautiful swimming pool with a fantastic view.
