Go! Drive & Camp

Time to get comfy

A decent weekend camp is exactly what you need this time of year to survive the long haul to the December holidays – a weekend where you can relax in peace and quiet in nature to recharge your batteries.

You don’t ask for much. Just spectacular sunsets, silence, a crackling campfire, wildlife nearby, and the people you love most with you.

You’ll find the location for just such a weekend at the foot of the Waterberg, just over 100 km outside Pretoria. Not only does Buyskop Lodge, 4 km outside Bela-Bela on the Modimolle road, meet all these requirements, there is also a rich history to discover, and, what’s more, there’s a spa where you can pamper yourself.
