About this place
Camdeboo Rest Camp sits within the Camdeboo National Park, which all but encircles the historic Karoo town of Graaff-Reinet. This is high, open Karoo country of wide plains, dolerite koppies and dramatic light, where the spare beauty of the semi-desert landscape is the main draw. The park is best known for the Valley of Desolation, a cluster of towering dolerite columns rising sheer above the plain, and for the views it offers over the town and the Sneeuberg beyond.
The reserve supports a good range of plains game, including Cape mountain zebra, kudu, springbok, blesbok and red hartebeest, along with a rich bird life around the Nqweba Dam. The camp makes a comfortable base for game-viewing drives, walks and visits to the viewpoints, and Graaff-Reinet, with its Cape Dutch architecture and restaurants, is only a short distance away. It suits travellers wanting a restful stop in the heart of the Karoo.
