Tankwa Karoo National Park SANParks

Although our booking was not done correctly - we booked a house and ended up at the old farmhouse with common living area - the stay in the end was great.

We were very excited to go on our 4-day (3 night) Karoo trip. It is our mission to visit all the National Parks. Unfortunately the accommodation was not what we were expecting. We were under the impression that we would pool but Tankwa Guest House is what we got and no pool. The accommodation was spacious in a "fort" but in dire need of TLC and maintenance. The kitchen cupboards are falling apart. The dishes available do not fit in the appliances i.e. oven dish too big for microwave and no oven! On arriving, both gas bottles were empty this we discovered at night after a dusty 4x4 drive! It was left up to the cleaning lady to move the full big gas bottle so we had to assist her. Its a beautiful park and we will go back but would like to see some improvements to the accommodation.

A beautiful place. It's like a moonscape at night - with a full moon - spectacular!

It was a lovely stay! Wilderness Camp was a unique experience! Thank you.

It is isolated, but in a very nice location with wonderful views towards the mountains, and completely private. The cottage is tastefully built with a stylish interior. The so-called splash pool needs attention and was not usable.
