Best campsite I've been to.

Huge sites, private, impala and nyala are your neighbours. Private ablution is great. Family of 4 to one toilet/shower is okay, if you are sharing with multiple families or big groups you will need to time your ablutions appropriately. The map of the reserve is useless and is of no resemblance to the actual roads, apparently, they working on it. We got hopelessly lost and eventually made our way back using Google Maps, at least cell coverage is good. Roads are doable in a normal car, good ground clearance would be an advantage. We had to turn back a few times due to thick sand or huge ruts and nearly got stuck a few times particularly the road down to the flood plains where my car bottomed out continuously. Also had to move the odd tree or branch knocked by elephants. Didn't see any game except buck. Free WiFi in camp was an unexpected bonus. Restaurant food is very average and only 2 options available. Place was quiet and peaceful. Barely saw any other guests.

Beautiful and clean campsites.

Bonamanzi was a beautiful reserve, it felt very safe and the facilities and campsite themselves were very clean and the private ablutions were brilliant.

Rustige plek, maar nie waarde vir geld nie.

Dit is 'n pragtige plek, maar nie waarde vir geld nie. Ons het by die gemeenskaplike badkamer gebly (nie 'n privaat ablusie nie) en dit het ons R615 per nag vir 'n kampplek gekos. Die damesbadkamer was gesluit en ons moes met die mans deel totdat hulle 'n ander sleutel gebring het. Daar is geen sein nie en die WiFi werk net soms, sodat mens ver moet ry om by die kantoor uit te kom.

Quiet place but not value for money.

It's a beautiful place but not value for money. We stayed at the communal bathroom (not a private ablution) and it cost us R615 per night for a campsite. The ladies bathroom was locked and we had to share with the men until they brought another key. There is no signal and the WiFi only works sometimes, so you have to drive far to get to the office.

Lekker in die bos gekamp by die gemeenskaplike kampterrein.

Baie groot staanplekke. Nyala en rooibokke maak gereeld 'n draai in die kamp. Die Hlangana gemeenskaplike kamp is geskik vir familiebyeenkomste. Om dinge te vergemaklik is 'n 4x4 aanbeveel, veral as dit gereën het. Meestal net Nyala en rooibokke en zebras gesien. Het wel luiperdspore aangetref. Die padkaart wat die plek gegee het is nutteloos en stem nie ooreen met realitieit nie. Jy kan slegs jou kampplek daarmee kry, maar nie sinvol gebruik om rond te ry nie. Geen merkers op die pad nie. Badkamers is gereeld skoongemaak, maar die instandhouding van badkamer kort aandag. Seepbakkies in stort was gebreek en geroes. Restaurant kos was uitstekend.

Nice camping in the woods at the common camping ground.

Very large pitches. Nyala and roe deer make regular visits to the camp. The Hlangana communal camp is suitable for family gatherings. To make things easier, a 4x4 is recommended, especially if it has been raining. Mostly only seen Nyala and impalas and zebras. Did find leopard tracks. The road map given by the place is useless and does not correspond to reality. You can only find your campsite with it, but not meaningfully use it to drive around. No markers on the road. Bathrooms were cleaned regularly, but bathroom maintenance needs attention. Soap dishes in shower were broken and rusted. Restaurant food was excellent.

Awesome campsite, reception service horrific.

Stayed without water during complete stay. Only had water on arrival for 1 hour. Power tripped after load shedding due to faulty electrical systems that need a lot of maintenance. No power for rest of stay.

Bonamanzi sien ons weer!

Wat 'n pragtige reservaat met presies wat ons na gesoek het! Mooiste mooi bome! Lekker selfry-roetes! Mooi gelyk staanplekke met braaiplekke en lig en water by elke staanplek. Ons het selfs ons eie private badkamer met opwasgeriewe gehad! Jy kan stap en daar is 'n restaurant ook vir die lui kokke.

Bonamanzi see you again!

What a beautiful reserve with exactly what we were looking for! Most beautiful trees! Nice self-driving routes! Nice level pitches with braai places and light and water at each pitch. We even had our own private bathroom with washing up facilities! You can walk and there is a restaurant also for the lazy cooks.

Lovely peaceful caravan park

We stayed in a caravan park with our own ablution block very clean and tidy. Goats graze around you during the day.
