🌳🏕️ MAZHOU CAMPSITE | MAPUNGUBWE NATIONAL PARK 🇿🇦
What a special place to spend a weekend in the African bush! 🌿🐘
Beautiful shade trees, magnificent baobabs, rich history and wildlife all around you. From elephants and giraffes to zebras and blue wildebeest, we were treated to some incredible sightings. And at night? Falling asleep to the sound of lions roaring and jackals calling in the distance! 🦁🌙
The campsite offers plenty of shade, electricity and water at every site, ablution facilities, dishwashing facilities and wheelchair-friendly access. The staff were also incredibly friendly and helpful.
🌳 Things to know before you visit:
* The Treetop Walkway is currently closed.
* The Maloutswa Waterhole Hide is currently closed.
* The monkeys can be a nuisance, so keep your food safely packed away! 🐒
* There is no cellphone signal, making this a perfect opportunity to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with nature. 📵🌿
* The electric fence doesn’t guarantee that wildlife won’t enter the campsite, so always stay alert, especially around elephants. 🐘
Despite the scorching heat, we had a fantastic weekend surrounded by nature, incredible wildlife and the rich history of this special place.
