authentic bush experience

The tents are so comfortable and the views are endless. Loved the braai area and the peaceful setting.

Perfect group getaway

We booked the whole bush camp and had the best time. It’s rustic, but everything you need is there.

Back to nature

No distractions, just stars, birds, and stillness. The solar lighting was a great touch.

Exactly what we needed

Simple, clean, and close to wildlife. The bush walk was a highlight — we even saw kudu!

Accommodation Description

The Tented Bush Camp at Pabala Private Nature Reserve offers a semi-luxury, off-grid glamping experience in the foothills of the Eastern Cape’s Kouga Mountains. Perfectly suited for nature lovers and small groups, the camp consists of four spacious permanent safari-style tents set on raised decks with panoramic views of the bush and surrounding valley. Each tent sleeps two guests in twin beds and includes linen, towels, and solar lighting.


Shared camp facilities include a fully equipped kitchen and rustic open-air bathroom facilities with warm showers and flush toilets. A communal braai and lapa area offers the perfect setting for campfire dinners under the stars. This is a back-to-basics bush experience, immersed in the sounds of wildlife and the peaceful rhythms of the veld.

Setting Description

Nestled within a working game and fynbos reserve near Hankey in the Eastern Cape, the Tented Bush Camp is surrounded by pristine wilderness and mountain views. The area teems with wildlife including antelope, zebra, and abundant birdlife. It’s a place where silence, starry skies, and natural beauty take centre stage — and yet it’s just a short drive from Jeffreys Bay and Baviaanskloof for day excursions.

What We Love

  • - Uninterrupted bushveld views from the raised tent decks
  • - Shared lapa and braai area perfect for sundowners and stargazing
  • - Comfortable tents with proper beds, linen, and towels
  • - Walking distance to hiking trails and wildlife encounters
  • - True off-grid peace with just the essentials
