peaceful bush experience
We enjoyed our 3 night stay at Griffons. Its a beautiful and peaceful spot. The quiet nights under intense starry skies were simply magic. It has the best views of the Cape Vultures- you cant access the cliffs from the Marakele side. It has a communal kitchen so it may be a bit awkward if all four chalets are booked- we were the only folk in the camp so it was not an issue for us.

An escape to the bush
Griffons is in a beautiful setting - feels like you're in the middle of the bush.
You can make it up there but we'd recommend a 4x4 as our saloon car struggled.
If you are staying there to visit Marakele, be aware its 9.5km of dirt road away from the National Park entrance (meaning it took us 45min each way to get there in the morning in our car - would be shorter in a 4x4). Make sure to book your Marakele Game Drives before you arrive as they book up quick and get confirmation of payment.
Wonderful staff and clean accommodation. Kitchen well equipped and we loved sitting round the fire each night with a braai and looking at the stars :)

Griffons Bush Camp
What a spot of beauty in nature. Under the mountain. I really enjoyed this.
Unfortunately there is a but. But somewhat neglected camp. Hardly any glasses. Only two unmatched wine glasses and what looks like two sherry glasses. Cheap and blunt cutlery. No electricity to charge a phone. A small piece of "blitz" to light a fire. No coffee sachets, salt or other. One would have expected a little more for the price. However, the natural surrounds kind of made up for this neglect.

A wonderful time
What a beautiful and peaceful place. Stunning mountain views! We both really enjoyed the piece and quiet! Thanks again to Thoma for being such a wonderful and knowledgeable host.

Wonderful stay
We had a wonderful 3 night stay at Griffons in December. It is superb for a bush breakaway, especially if you want to avoid crowds. Thoma is an excellent camp manager and together with his sidekick Foxy the meerkat, they ensured that our stay was truly memorable. I will certainly be returning to this wonderful place which teems with birdlife, including the largest Cape Vuture colony in Southern Africa.

We had an awesome time at Griffons! Primitive with a touch of luxury! Great views, perfect for a relaxing breakaway. We loved every moment, and the management of Griffons just made us feel at home. Thank you for a fantastic time!

Fabulous!
AMAZING! This was one of the best experiences we had at a Bush camp. Thomas Hoslet was a wonderful host. He met us at the gate, showed us our chalet and during the day he made regular turns to make sure we had everything we need. He has a vast knowledge of animals and we learned a lot. Griffons Bush Camp is the place to go if you want to be one with nature and want to be treated like royalty!
