Elandsberg Rest Camp
A SANParks self-catering camp.
Just a few hours drive from Cape Town brings you to the ideal destination of Tankwa Karoo National Park(close to Sutherland), for those of you seeking a once-in-a-lifetime glimpse of a rare endemic bird, or perhaps nothing more than a silence that reaches deep into the soul.
We do not take rest camp bookings. Camps are booked directly with SANParks, where current tariffs are published.

The luxury alternative
If you would rather not self-cater.
We do not take rest camp bookings. What our safari specialists do arrange is South Africa's private reserves: private lodges where expert guiding, meals and game drives are included, and nothing is left to the camp kitchen. We look after international travellers and SADC residents alike, and many lodges offer reduced SADC rates.
