Not recommended.
Not at all. The tent was not cleaned. Bedding was dirty with stains. There were old dead spiders everywhere and outside of that the bathroom was open in the winter so the whole tent was incredibly cold. The light at the braai area was very bad and all the tents were crowded together without any privacy. You camp in the woods, but have to use doom to make sure you don't get bitten by spiders. There are much better places in Dinokeng for that price! It is very expensive for what you get.

We apologise that you did not enjoy our luxury tents. Glamping is intended to be an outdoor experience that makes it easier to arrive without all the labour typically involved. The experience invites you to meet new campers, enjoy your weekend, and discover new areas offering game drives, outdoor hot showers, fishing, swimming etc. In the bush, we cannot prevent insects and spiders, as everything comes out at night. We weren't informed that you desired exclusivity as our camping is designed to be social rather than private. The lighting for the braai area is sufficient and even has sensors for when they're not in use. Our prices are affordable and we even granted you a winter special 20% discount. We're sorry that you found our tents lacking. We have had return clients and all our linens were clean upon your arrival. Over the weekend, insects may have stained the bedding. We provided extra blankets and heating fans, ensuring everything is in working order and that water (both hot and full gas) is fully available. Fortunately, there are now over 70 lodges in Dinokeng so if your experience wasn't what you expected, the best thing to do is explore around for what may better suit your needs. Many places within Dinokeng cater to a spectrum of requirements. We do apologise if your needs were not met. Have a lovely evening. For private tents, we recommend 'The Hogs Guest House'. They even have Jacuzzis and offer complete privacy. Best of luck, and thank you for supporting us and staying at Jimmy's Place. Enjoy your weekend.

Weekend getaway.
Tent is very comfortable and everything is still brand new. Only negatives are the noises from neighboring village and highway noises during the night.

Hi Lizel
Thank you for your comments. Unfortunately this problem is ongoing and the entire Dinokeng community is up in arms about the noise from the nearby village. We are trying to resolve this problem but it is not an easy task.
It is good to know you enjoyed the Safari Tents and so sorry you had to put up with this nonsense.
Kind regards
Gail
