Nature's Valley Rest Camp
A SANParks self-catering camp.
Established in the De Vasselot section of the Tsitsikamma National Park, Nature's Valley rest camp is understood by those who visit it to be, first and foremost, a bird watcher's dream come true. With hiking trails also popular among the camp's activities, and with many routes to choose from, the odds of spotting plumage to suit your needs in or around the camps flourishing forest, exquisite fynbos, and towering cliffs are widely known to be much better than average.
We do not take rest camp bookings. Camps are booked directly with SANParks, where current tariffs are published.

A shop and restaurant is located in the village where basic commodities may be purchased.

Two coin-operated washing machines and tumble driers are available in the main ablution facility.
The luxury alternative
If you would rather not self-cater.
We do not take rest camp bookings. What our safari specialists do arrange is the Garden Route: 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.
