Camp Bethel

I cannot express how special this place is. We had an amazing holiday at Camp Bethel, the personal service and care from all the staff is incredible. Two special mentions, one to Chef Gibbs who catered beautifully for everyone’s needs and likes, the food was delicious and plentiful . The second to our guide Phillip, a very informative and kind man taking care of all our safari group with attention to detail. The camp is set in a idilic location, with impala roaming freely, baboons running around and bush babies in the trees. The tents are very comfortable, and well equipped, fan, heater, electric blanket, tea/coffee making, hairdryer, fridge and cooking facilities on the deck area. Tents serviced every day, with bed time stories and chocolates left on your bed in the evening. We celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary in camp and we were presented with a delicious cake and singing of celebrations from the staff it was magical. We hope to return one day!

I honestly don't know where to start , the whole experience from start to finish was amazing, from the trip from the airport stopping at the animal reserve seeing some of Africa's wild animals for the first time to Mandela sanctuary, where the accomodation was beautiful and the food was divine, the wee tour telling you the history of the sanctuary, to the eventual arrival at Camp Bethal, to be greeted by the staff there, who go above and beyond to make your stay amazing.The beds were so comfortable and the electric blankets on the beds on the colder nights was a great touch. The animals wandering around the camp were great to watch, the safaris were well worth the early rise in the morning to see all these beautiful animals, back at camp the food was fantastic the flavours and some traditional foods were so very good, and I was fortunate enough to be surprised by a beautiful birthday cake which was absolutely delicious. The staff could not do enough for you we had many a good laugh singing and dancing , and as fir Jojo our guide for the safaris he was brilliant from explaining all about the animals and the country to showing us his traditional dancing. 100% would go back in a heart beat best holiday EVER

Thank you ☺️ for the holiday of a life time ! I have not one fault except it passed to quickly for me. The staff are amazing they make everyone feel so welcome & nothing is too much trouble.

I am definitely heading back as it was like living a dream for our week. Special thanks to our guide JoJo a fantastic guide. Cant thank the full team enough. Lots of love from Scotland

A dream holiday of a lifetime !!! Camp Bethel was great and was comfortable in the tents, double bed and very comfy inside with bathroom & shower. The team at the camp were amazing and anything we needed was never any problem, they bent over backwards to ensure our stay was as perfect as can be. Chef Gibbs made delicious food daily and consulted with us all a couple of hours before meals to ensure everyone was happy with his suggestion of meal choice and was happy to accommodate changes. Vusi our tour guide who took us everywhere on safari and on the excursions was such a lovely guy and a fountain of knowledge who's been doing this job for 31 years - You can see he loves it and is so passionate in his work. it was nice to have wild aninals wondering through the camp sometimes, we saw little cute Mpalas, a Zebra and other animals too. This place is booked up until end of 2025 so it speaks volumes to how popular it is. I would definitely recommend Camp Bethel and the safari experience to all.

Wow, what a great experience we had while staying at Camp Bethel! Every single member of the staff were fabulous! Super friendly and welcoming ! Chef made exceptions for my 6yo and our food was always so beautiful! Vusi and Phillip were very knowledgeable and kept us busy! The game drives were AMAZING and we were very lucky spotting 4/5 of the big 5 on the first day! My favourite trip was feeding the elephants which i recommend adding to your trip! Thank you again for such a unforgettable stay, our safari tents were so cosy, clean and comfortable and I loved the additions of story’s before bed! Perfect family holiday that we will never forget! You are all amazing! What’s the Craic xx
