Black Eagle Tented Camp offers an idyllic retreat for hikers, birdwatchers, and those seeking a peaceful getaway in the beautiful Eastern Cape province of South Africa. The absence of the Big 5 ensures a safe environment for solo exploration along the numerous trails. The Kleinrivier gorge offers breathtaking scenery, with inviting pools to cool off during hot summer days. Visitors may encounter various wildlife such as klipspringer, kudu, impala and wildebeest while exploring.
Venturing into the remote Winterhoek mountains offers a chance to immerse oneself in the lush Karoo fauna and flora. The mountains are dotted with a diverse array of fynbos species, totalling thousands. Additionally, five species of antelope inhabit the area naturally. Reptiles, particularly the 'Bloukop koggelmanders,' dominate this arid landscape, often crossing paths with hikers along the trails
Stayed at the Black Eagle Tented Camp. You have access to some of the best swimming holes in South Africa and some of the best hiking / running trails I have ever been on

Awesome. The tents are extremely comfortable and the kitchen and braai area is great. We saw many birds and thoroughly enjoyed our swim in the big pool just up the trail from the camp
