ATV a brilliant organization. I've spend extended periods at there resorts.
We agree that ATKV resorts are well run and great to visit.
Pet friendly?
Unfortunately Drakensville is not pet friendly.
We go there all the time
So convenient for folks in Pretoria and Joburg and a lovely safe spot for the kids to run around and have some fun
Goeie werk julle
Many thanks!
Thanks for the video. It provided me with all the info I needed to make a descision to go there.
So glad you found the video helpful - enjoy your stay and happy and safe travels
Isnt it warmbad
In 2002, the name of the town Warmbad/Warmbaths was changed to Bela-Bela (which means boiling-boiling)
An excellent video. Thank you!
Thank you for your kind words 😀
@@GallivantingSA this is her son, henry anyways were planing to go to south africa where mingrid lives or my mom
Hi great and very informative video. I'm considering visiting either Eiland or Tshipise campsite this June to avoid the cold in Gauteng, I've also watched your Tshipise review. How would you say they compare to each other? My kids are 5 and 10 so I have to have them in mind when selecting the campsite. Thanks!
Hi there BananaCamper! To start with, I love both, but I think your kids would prefer Eiland - Tshipise, my favourite winter campsite is filled with "swaletjies" and pensioners over the winter months - Eiland too has a number of more senior campers, but there definitely were more children there when we visited in June 2023. Please check, but I think Eiland is more expensive, especially during the school holidays (but we are only 2 and the sites take up to 6 I think, which makes a difference). Both have lots of activities for the whole family and both have fantastic outdoor warm/hot pools. Tshipise is also further in distance. Both are fairly isolated in that it all happens on the resort with very little options nearby to explore. We are off to Tshipise for some of June and all of July, but my suggestion would be Eiland for your children.
@@GallivantingSA Thank you for your recommendation. I've been to a few ATKV and Forever resorts and my perception is the ATKV network has a better standard (in general). Also, you can book a specific site on ATKV and Forever is first come first serve which for me is not good as I always come late to the the resort. I'm still monitoring the weather and hopefully it will be warm enough for a good camping in June!
We went here for a break back in 1990 . If I recall, this was an Overvaal resort at the time. We spent a week in December . Absolutely fantastic. I do miss South Africa and camping holidays. Europe is just not the same …AT ALL 😀😀
Africa is indeed unique and special - hope you get to visit sometime soon for your "Africa Fix" 😀
Die afgelope paar jaar gaan ons gereeld daarheen.(min 2 keer per jaar.) Ek beveel dit aan vir almal. Baie dankie vir die video, en o ja, die video is vars geneem, my trailer is te sien daar. Ons het ñ Karoo toer gedoen.
Baie dankie vir die terugvoer. Ons is jammer dat ons mekaar nie raakgeloop het terwyl ons daar was nie. Kom maak gerus 'n draai wanneer ons dalk weer by dieselfde plek kampeer.
Definitely worth a stop over
I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was bowled over by just how magnificent and different it is 😀 Indeed worth a stop over - or a stay 😀
Very helpful, thank you. I have often driven past enroute to the Cape. Bucket list Park for sure.
Me too - always rushing past and wondering what it's like. It's definitely more of a place for the nature lover rather than those looking for the instant gratification of a resort - can't wait to go back!
Is it pet friendly ?
Tshipise is not pet friendly - they have horses and there are baboons. monkeys and wild animals about.
We visited last weekend. Thank you for the review which assisted us to book, prepare and go.
So glad that you found the video helpful 😀
If you wint to come with school excursion
I am sure they will happily take on a school excursion. The resort has a number of youth programmes and activities - give them a call!
Thanks for a great review👌🏻😊
Thanks for the great feedback 😀
This place sounds like a good spot not far from Joburg!
I think this would be a fun and safe place for your little ones
I want to make a booking but phone number not working were can i find the number
How many campsites in Haywards?
They have 22 campsites - 3 are clustered centrally and ideal for larger groups and families - the others all follow the fenceline looking out into the reserve. Most have a paved slab but some are grass only. Sites 1 - 8 have the best view of passing animals.
Can I have your contact number
Best camping place we ever camp. Great host and communications at it's best. Any one looking for a place to stay over for a night or three you will not ve sorry go to Moriti and enjoy this lovely camping experience
Agree 100% - staying there for just s few days was so restful.
Awesome.
Thank you 😀
Thank you so much. This was great. Shall be heading up there and towing a camper. Thanks for the tips.
We really enjoy Punda - it's still the Park, but different to the South - hope you enjoy it.
Another great review, thank you very much mam! Especially for specifying the cellphone network strength as we work remotely. Blessings
Thanks for the kind words and support 😀. Working remotely in the Kruger for any length of time is a problem - just doing the basics is generally possible using the Vodacom network or the WiFi now available in some of the restaurants, but generally it's pretty hit and miss 🤔
I stayed there a couple of times and absolutely loved it because I could just get out of my tent and go for a surf.. Also I just loved the outlook overlooking the ocean and the general vibe. The Salt Rock Hotel next to it to it is a wonderful bonus because it's a great place to go and have a drink.
Very informative video as always! I suggest you keep the background music rather playing throughout the video.
Many thanks! I am smiling at your comment about the music - I have been specifically asked to not have any music in the background as older folks with hearing difficulties find it distracting 😂 But maybe I can find ways of incorporating some sound effects...
Thank you for a lovely and informative review, beautifully put together🎉
Very many thanks!
I appreciate your review is 100% true (as of July 2023)
great review as usual, thanks
Thank you! The support of our viewers means so much. 😀
Another excellent and accurate review 👌.
Many thanks! Much appreciation 😀
Thanks so much for another stunning review mam! We love the detail, it is extremely helpful!! You are the best! ❤
Thank you! Your kind words and support are hugely appreciated.
Thank you for your kind review - we are pleased you had an enjoyable time at the Numbi Caravan Park - we wish you safe travels and a blessed festive season.
Camped here a few times, generally very good. Was not overly impressed with how cramped some of the paved private ablution sites are and the private ablution facilities could have been a lot better. I prefer the general camp sites making use of the shared ablutions. Also, as per another comment, can be dusty during dryer times.
Agree with you 100% - when you're in a group with friends the more cramped paved sites are less of an issue, but if you're on own, a little more elbow room is nice :)
Yes it's my stoppIngrid point when I'm in the area.
Is this resort pet friendly…i have been there like 3 times already but not sure if its pet friendly
Many campers have given bad reviews about the Park's appointed staff, residing in the park's, and their behavior, also that of owner's appointed management residing next door in the Salt Rock Hotel, which they report to! Also noisy parties with loud music on the lawn in front of the hotel, right next to the caravan park...
I too have read those reviews - our experience was different - all of the staff we engaged with where friendly and helpful.
Great reviews. New fan here of GalavantingSA
Many thanks! We appreciate it!
Love your videos mam!! As always so helpful and thorough!! Much appreciated! Hope we can meet you someday somewhere at a camping site. Blessings
Thanks for your kind words - crossing fingers we do get to meet somewhere in a campsite - just look out for the campervan plastered with GallivantingSA signs 😀
Hi guys great video, short and sharp as usual! I’m actually considering camping there in march next year when they host the marathon. Maybe you guys could join Banana Camper at ATKV Buffelspruit over the last weekend of November !
Hi Banana Camper! Remember to wear shoes - the thorns even went through the soles on my trainers. Sadly, we will not get to meet at Buffelspoort as we will be in the Kruger region then, but maybe the next time! Take care and travel safe!
Lovely vid as always. Ww are at bontle in 2 weeks time

Another excellent review. Had some really good experiences at Sondela over the years. It still is a awesome resort and there is something for everyone.
Thanks for the kind words. Sondela is great - the cyclists in our group had an especially good time.
An excellent review. Thank you.
Many thanks - so glad you liked it!
I heard there is noise at night from a nearby settlement?
Awesome review
Many thanks!
Which camp number is best for privacy?
Another great review. Thanks mam, much appreciated as we are currently looking for a place to stay in Durban! Looking forward to your next video! ❤
Again very informative video, seems to be a very nice place!
We love your reviews mam! Always looking forward to the next one! ❤
