ACTIVITIES

GUIDED TOURS A stay at Mount Camdeboo includes two game drives per day (averaging about three hours each) at optimal wildlife viewing times, namely: pre-dawn and sunset. The vehicles used on the reserve are purpose-built, nine-seater game viewing Land Rovers. They are SABS safety approved and are equipped with seatbelts, a shade canopy and drink holders. Given that the Camdeboo Manors are nestled in a valley, the game drives typically start with a breath-taking climb up the mountain slopes and onto the plateau above where the animals graze and where the world unfolds at guests’ feet.

Guided bush walks offer an alternative to a normal game drive, subject to the whole vehicle opting to walk.

LOCATION The Great Karoo is considered a semi-desert region. Arid air and cloudless skies are typical of this area, as are great heat and frosts. Daytime is typically warm, while night-time and early mornings can become cool, even in summer months. This climate results in a very particular landscape, dotted with xerophytic vegetation. The topography on Mount Camdeboo is however quite different, boasting lush valleys, due to its location at the foot of the Sneeuberg.

SUMMER October - April/May Hot, occasional thunder-showers Average daytime temperature 30°C

WINTER April/May - September Cool, sometimes snow on the mountains Average daytime temperature 15°C
