AfriCamps is all about glamping at the most beautiful working farms, estates and reserves in South Africa. At each of our locations, you can get closer to nature without compromising on the creature comforts of home. Enjoy everything from hiking to hammocking, from seclusion in nature to romantic escapes, from family getaways to merry chaos with friends. The AfriCamps glamping concept offers guests the freedom and flexibility of a self-drive holiday, the closeness to nature of a camping trip and the luxury and convenience of a beautiful self-catering unit. Set up high in the mountains, Oakhurst is one of the few remaining large working farms along the South African Garden Route and covers a massive 640 hectares – 200 of which are pristine fynbos and indigenous forest. Eight AfriCamps boutique glamping tents overlook rolling green fields and the Outeniqua Mountains. Visit the dairy, hike, run, cycle, swim and take a guided horse trail. Soak up the views of the Outeniqua mountains in the distance from your own private outdoor wood-fired hot tub. It's the purest form of relaxation, while taking in the beautiful surroundings. On hot summer days, use the tub as a splash pool! Each AfriCamps tent consists of an outdoor wood-fired hot tub or splash pool, a spacious open plan lounge area with a comfortable couch, a dining area with a solid wooden table and seating for five guests, a fully-equipped kitchen, two bedrooms that comfortably sleeps five guests and a bathroom complete with a hot shower, flushing toilet and washbasin. Both bedrooms are furnished with a queen-size bed and have their own private entrance which allows maximum privacy. One of the bedrooms also contains a single bunk bed. Our tents are equipped with air-conditioning and an indoor fireplace. Enjoy a braai on our spacious wooden decks and take in the views from the comfortable deck loungers. Pull up the front covers and transform the tent into a large outdoor living area. Unwind and appreciate a festive family breakfast while taking in the serene natural beauty of the South African landscape. Our tents are equipped with Wi-Fi.
The Oakhurst farm is a lovely farm with great activities. The activities is educational. The tents is clean and located perfectly on the farm. The grass was green with some rainfall in the evenings. Afrikamps always has a booking special and is a great alternative for fancy hotels. The fresh air and quietness of nature is calming to the soul. Each Afrikamp has a different experience as they got their own uniqueness. Would recommend giving them all a stay.

As a couple seeking rest and recuperation, this stay was perfect. The host made every detail utterly special. From the neatly packed breakfast and braai baskets to being on call the whole weekend to assist us with extra firewood and firelighters. Thanks Tash, for all your effort! 10/10 do recommend the food baskets - the portion size is decent, declicious and made the getaway effortless. It's also noteworthy that this stay is perfect for winter getaways. We soaked in the hot tub the whole day till late then cuddled in front of the fireplace at night. Very cozy! Inside was very neat, clean, and well kitted. They think of everything you might need. Also good to know that they encourage green living as there was a tin for contributing to the compost heap. We return home with a full and rested heart - can't wait to return!

This AfriCamps site is situated on a stunning dairy farm well inland from Wilderness; a perfect location for anyone wanting to absorb themselves in the countryside and all the serenity that comes with it! The hosts are passionate about their business and run it with great efficiency whilst always having time for your requests however large or small ... There are fabulous facilities for kids and adults alike such as the MTB track, archery, canoeing, dairy farm tour and horse-riding. Don't forget to ask Claire to stock your fridge with farm fresh eggs, milk and butter - a cut above anything that you can buy in the supermarket. We will surely be back!

Let me just start by saying, i hate camping. But i love the outdoors.
Africamps ticked all the right boxes for me.
Comfort, everything you needed in the tent along with tons of fresh air, nature, relaxation, and all those wonderful camp-like vibes without the hassle of packing everything into your boot to make the stay livable.
While we brought all our own food and snacks, we needed nothing, because the deli/store had enough supplies to cook a decent meal, with dessert included!
The hot tub was simply magnificent in the winter cold, it was magical relaxing in it while cows are grazing all around you. The tent itself was not cold at all either, not with a lovely fireplace and electric blankets on the beds.
Really a peaceful and wonderful weekend.
Probably the only negative thing i can say is that it started raining and unfortunately, the braai area (the chimney) was built in a way that when it rains the rain comes right down into it putting the fire out so our meal was a bit ruined in the rain, but luckily there was a gas stove where we completed the cooking on. But it would be great if the bbq facility was not weather dependent.

Fantastic location. Peaceful with very friendly helpful staff. Close enough to pop out to local shops if you have forgotten something. The tents were furnished with everything one needs. Dry firewood from reception was helpful as our wood was soaked. All in all a great getaway without the long tedious drive.

Africamps Oakhurst has so much on offer to keep you entertained or simply to relax and unwind and take in the various sounds of the farm and nature. Many lovely walks to do, cycle tracks, dairy visits, horses, archery, fishing, paddling, you name it they have it. They also offer many activities for kiddies so will be the perfect location for a family holiday as well. Unwinding in the hot tub and listening to nature definitely does good for the soul.

We had the most lovey stay here and my kids are already asking when we can go back. Our tent was spacious, clean and comfortable. The hot tub was absolutely amazing, especially during the cooler evenings. It does get quite chilly at night but there is heating, a fireplace, and heated blankets in the tent. The kitchen is a bit cramped so don’t bring too much food, rather order one of the beautiful food baskets with farm goodies. There are so many activities on the farm that one can’t get bored. We had a great time horse riding and trail running but the highlight was definitely the archery lesson. We all adored the calves that were grazing close to the tent. It was simply a wonderful stay. The staff and the owners are also exceptionally friendly and helpful.

Wow! From the first step into reception for check in until we checked out was the best service ever. The hot tub was our favorite. My kids enjoyed it so much. The tent was more than I expected. We ordered a breakfast basket and it was delivered to our tent early morning with fresh farm products. My celebrated my husbands birthday and Clare surprised him with a chocolate in the breakfast basket. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. We stayed with our children in Tent nr. 8 that is very private. Can't wait to go back.

Great place to stay with excellent service. Our tent was cleaned and there were lots of activities during the weekend. The coffee bar and shop at the campsite was great and convenient. The tent itself was cleaned and contained everything you need. The sunset was beautiful. Our kids were very happy with the playground close to the tents.
