106 guests' feedbackEverything was perfect, thank you very much for a nice stay.
We had a fabulous stay, with friendly staff. The facilities are a bit dated but clean and neat. We loved that we could hike around and saw plenty of wildlife.
My wife and I really enjoyed our two nights at Witgatboom. It is clean and tidy and the hospitality was good. We were under the impression that we would be able to drive ourselves to see wildlife, which is not the case. One must make use of the guided game drives (R450). You can go for a walk, but there are buffalo, so we didn't really move around freely. There is a very nice viewpoint not far from the camp which is a definite MUST! Also take cash with you, there is a R200 key deposit.
Fabulous and beautiful place. I can definitely recommend this place; it's first-class service!
Very thorough management and maintenance is applied to the accommodation. The staff are without exception, very friendly and helpful. We will definitely visit again and recommend it with an open mind. Well done, the accommodation.
Only stayed one night but will most definitely consider for future travels, was much enjoyed.
Very calm. Friendly reception. Clean and tidy.
Had a great time at the Witgatboom Forest Camp!
What an experience for the soul was our stay of two weeks in the Boskamp! The incredible tranquility (we were alone in the forest camp for most of our stay) and the animals that came to visit us so often made it a special experience. The staff received us generously and provided fantastic service. Special thanks to Vicky who went out of her way to meet our needs, to Johnny who so generously shared his knowledge about the animals, plants and environment with us during our game drive. Thanks also to Johanna who cleaned our place so beautifully every day, always with a smile on her face. Uncle Hendrik, your hand can be seen in everything. You have a little gem in Witgatboom Boskamp!
The camp and units at Witgatboom Boskamp were clean and tidy. We enjoyed the animal and bird encounters. However, we would have preferred a larger swimming pool.
Hospitable, neat, spotless, comfortably furnished, good dirt road, looking forward to many more visits at Witgatboom.
There is everything you need to get away from the city. You are also still close enough to the town and other amenities if you need anything.
Chalets are well equipped, staff are very friendly and helpful and the surroundings are breathtaking. The weekend here was unforgettable. Thank you!
Bedding could be a little cleaner please. Had bed bugs.
Very nice place to stay over on your way to the North.
Beautiful, very neat units. Comfortable with everything needed. Coffee, sugar, biscuits and even a fresh bottle of milk in the fridge was a big bonus. No loadshedding and so safe. Was a great getaway.
Nice time around the campfire and pool. Lots of wildlife to see.
Will definitely want to visit the farm again soon.
Beautiful and very neat. Would love to stay here longer next time. Voetslaanroete's signs just need attention.
It was very quiet and peaceful. Although it rained quite a bit, the air con was most welcome, especially during the warm nights. This place is ideal for a group, I wouldn't come alone again.
Nice area of the country with good facilities. Animals are tame and well cared for.
Beautiful surroundings and very safe. Would recommend and visit anytime.
The forest house is very neat and thoroughly equipped. The environment around the forest house is well planned and maintained. The receptionist (Antoinette) was friendly and very helpful. I can only speak highly of this place and recommend it!
Friendly staff always helped if help was needed. It's short walking trail to the viewpoint is nice and has a very nice view.
Many thanks to everyone's hospitality. The place was very neat and clean, and had everything that was needed. The bottle of fresh milk in the fridge was a surprise. I had a great rest, I will definitely visit "my" piece of woodland again. The wildlife was something to experience. The nightingales danced for me, the hornbill came to "knock" me awake, and the goats roam the camp, so to speak. This is definitely a getaway to remember. Well done to the management. Thank you very much for the great service and the nice visit.
It is incredibly beautiful and the bushveld environment makes it peaceful after a long journey. Facilities were great and I would definitely stay there again.
Excellent customer service.
The units are always neat and clean and well equipped with everything you will need. Uncle Hendrik, Patrys, Antonette and Patrys are beautiful people and make you feel so welcome. Witgatboom is definitely an all-in-one place for me. The staff are fantastic, warm and make you feel extremely comfortable. The environment is safe and very peaceful. Camp is very clean and tidy. Units are fantastic. I enjoy the idea that it doesn't have a resort effect. It's a place where you can see and experience the woodland in all its glory. The wildlife is beautiful.
Amazing place to rest.
We had such a nice stay there as family and friends. The units are so clean and tidy, the forest life peaceful and beautiful and the camp so nicely furnished. The children rode the cobblestone paths on their bikes and enjoyed every bit of it. The boma with the big fire pit was also special. We also went hunting and Christo was a great host who always made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. We would definitely go back again and recommend to anyone!
Very friendly and accommodating.
We really enjoyed it. Very nice farm and quiet. Happy hunting and excellent service.
Witgatboom Boskamp is a well-managed game farm. Andre, the host, is very hospitable and knowledgeable about all things to do with the bush and wildlife. Our little thatch cottage was comfortable, cosy and was a perfect retreat from the city. We were able to go walking on the various boskamp roads, to three different waterholes, and the viewing platform was a highlight. It was my first time to see the goldern wildebeest, and later to see a loan sable.
Uncle Hendrik made us feel at home from the start. He also helped when our bakkie had a flat wheel by taking the wheel to Naboomspruit so that the wheel could be fixed. I just want to thank you for your hospitality uncle Hendrik, may you be blessed out of your socks. Greetings Pieter and Elize.
Staff very friendly, very clean. Great visit. Just a few items to add, bread board, more large plates and hanging space for the dishcloths. Would love to visit there again with friends.
Would have liked to have stayed longer, only stayed one night because business visit Was it a wonderful experience! Everything is furnished with such care and cleanliness, attention is paid to the smallest detail, thank you very much, it made us feel so special. Will definitely visit again for longer. Ideal place for family gatherings. The surroundings are so beautiful, the woodland in all its splendor!
Most beautiful sunrises and sunsets, so quiet even in the camp. Fantastic service, the management is very involved, thank you Andre. Definitely worth a return.
We could only stay 1 night where most places you have to stay at least 2 nights. The chalet was beautifully clean and tidy with everything you need. It's very safe, peaceful and quiet in the heart of the forest. We will definitely visit again.
What a surprise in the woods. We will definitely visit there again and stay a little longer this time. Everything is very comfortable and tidy.
We will definitely be back for a longer visit. Units are well equipped, spotless and tidy. Quiet atmosphere and very nice place.
What a wonderful few days we enjoyed at the Boskamp. Andre came to visit us each day. Everything just perfect. If you want peace and quiet, this is the place to visit. Thank you to Andre and Bertina.
Looks very nice for a group of people. Nice communal kitchen and lapa. Single chalets are neat and comfortable.
We can only speak well of Witgat Boskamp.
Teenagers enjoyed it.
The people are friendly and helpful.
Most beautiful place. Everything you need. Close to nature. Safe. Breathtaking animals and scenery. Friendly and very helpful staff. Will definitely visit again.
It was really a special experience. André and his team make sure that everything is neat and clean. We will definitely go back again.
Good service after lightning knocks out power. Friendly management. It's just a shame guests can't drive themselves to look for animals - additional costs for this can have a negative effect. If the farm is mapped with a drone, accessible routes are marked can offer a solution!
Very nice - just a shame we couldn't do game drives ourselves.
Only just over 2 hours on the highway from Joburg, the bushcamp delivers great value for money and a very clean and friendly atmosphere. Dip pool is a great experience. Saw at least nine varieties of game. Easy access on a good, short dirt road. Would thoroughly recommend a visit.
Witgatboom Boskamp is the ideal getaway. The facilities are quality and the cleanliness of the camp is the first thing that strikes you. Will highly recommend to friends.
Well received. People very friendly and facilities very clean and tidy. Cell phone reception was a problem.
Many thanks Andre and Bertina for a very welcome reception, great facilities, friendly company. Our long weekend at Witgatboom was wonderful! Best braai wood, spotlessly clean accommodation, 'game drives' of great size. I recommend Witgatboom to everyone who wants to get away from the city. We'll see you again soon!
Couldn't have asked for better service!
Better to go in a group, otherwise not quietly.
Clean, new, tidy, well equipped and affordable. Host, Andre, is extremely friendly and helpful.
From early morning walks in the forest, to late night wood fires and wildlife moving through the camp we can truly recommend Witgatboom to any family, friends or couple. The forest camp's layout is ideally located around the boma, which is well stoked every afternoon and burns well into the evening. We will for sure make a reservation here again in the near future.
Besides the rich variety of birds, we were visited in the camp by ostriches, nyala, blue wildebeest, giraffes and impalas. Truly an unforgettable weekend. Andre stopped by every day to see if we needed anything. Excellent hospitality!
Very nice setup, Andre you've thought of literally everything! Love being able to walk and really experience the forest where you live. Top notch facilities. You see us again!
Tea, coffee and biscuits as well as milk in the fridge was a nice treat. The management went out of their way to make us feel at home. Even drove back to the campsite specially with a pack of ice for us. They can also consider adding two wine glasses and two stainless steel glasses to their stock. We will definitely want to stay there again.
The camp is very quiet - if you want to get out of the city and just see stars and hear night sounds in the evening, only 2 hours out of Johannesburg, this is for you. Nice to be able to walk or ride a bike in the forest and see the animals and animals up close - just be careful of wild animals. Game drives are available, but you also pay if you want to use your own car.
We had a great time at Witgatboom forest camp. The house was clean and tidy and everything we needed was there. Each unit has a braai with an interesting turning mechanism to set your potty up and down. We went for long walks in the field and saw a lot of game, also on the game drive. In the evening the night monkeys come through the camp and we were able to see them up close. If you want to get away from noise and commotion this is the perfect destination.
Best place ever. Hospitality is top notch and very neat chalets. I can't even think of anything that wasn't right. Best of all, you can rest and recharge yourself. Owners are friendly and helpful
We really enjoyed Die Witgatboom. Had a very neat and friendly reception and we can really recommend them, especially as a large group. Nice cozy atmosphere and a nice campfire under the stars. Please be just pay attention to the room key deposit and take cash with you.
Have a good time and relax. Friendly reception. Cottage well equipped. Maybe bigger coffee mugs. The sunrise and sunset are beautiful.
See stars.
Quiet, beautiful scenery, comfortable, tidy, good location.
From the moment we got there, we were welcomed with open arms. The place is ideal for family reunions, birthdays or just a bunch of friends who want to hang out together. It was all the little things that made us very impressed!
The owners were fantastic hosts and the bush camping facilities are great! We had a great time and will definitely go again!
The place is warm. The air there is just cool. It's a nice place for one to clear their minds.
Overall it was very nice. Only wish the unit we stayed in also had air conditioning. The town is generally nice too, we just couldn't find any restaurant to eat.
We had a nice experience of waking up by melodies of birds and animals sounds at the background. What a wonderful experience.
Suggestion, please consider it. to put burglar bars with a mosquito net on at least 2 windows, the mosquitoes eat you up.
We will definitely go again. Beautiful place, safe, clean, tidy, friendly owners. Wooden house with room for 4, hot water anytime no problem.
The warmth of the owner struck me, anyone can see he works hard, is disciplined and friendly. It's so good to see in the times we all are - well done!
Privaat en baie mooi. Lief die eenvoud.
Very clean and tidy place. Helena was very friendly and hospitable. Would only recommend that there is more hanging space for towels in the cabins.
Sal vir seker vriende en familie aanbeveel. Lekker ontspanne atmosfeer.
Everything just perfect.
Friendly personal attention from owners, beautifully clean and tidy grounds and houses, lovely lapa and gathering area (hall). Ideal for family gatherings or a couple of families who want to spend time together in the Bosveld. Seen goats and giraffes just up close.
The place is beautiful and clean, it's a great place if you need some time away from city life.
WILL GO AGAIN AND AGAIN VERY NICE PLACE NICE PEOPLE
We were a work group of 10 people. Everything was excellent, from the welcome until we left again. And the game drive is a must for everyone.
Helena was a wonderful hostess. We enjoyed every moment at Witgatboom. Quiet around a barbecue fire with the Bushveld silence around us. If I could give a 6/5 I would. The staff are friendly and helpful. I have never seen such a clean and tidy self-catering. The chalet sparkled. We had plenty of hot water and delicious dry Bosveld wood. Thank you so much Helena, boys and team for a weekend with our baby that we will always cherish. The weekend ended on a high note with the giraffes who came to visit the pool this morning. We'll see you again soon! Best wishes for the future.
We really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, everything was there to enjoy. E.g. Bed linen, kitchenware, towels. Thank you very much. Hot water was just a problem. Also nice, very relaxed and wildlife seen. Thank you for your kindness, Helena. Place is particularly beautiful even though it is winter. Without green it was also another beautiful.
Trouble with the wood, there is a limit on the wood not informed about it. Hot water: The donkeys are not heated enough. Paid wood.
Facilities 100%. Clean, tidy, everything you could need.
Small items that need attention, eg. shower spills over the glass wall because there are no shower heads, light was taken out in the cool drink fridge, water very muddy ─ filters will help. Not enough wood to heat the hot water donkey and indoor braai (there was plenty in the boma, but too big stumps to use with the donkeys). Otherwise, the accommodation and facilities were very nice.
The friendliest people. A must-go if you love the outdoors.
All the staff were very helpful, never a grumpy face, willing to help whenever asked, safe and secure, def will be back
Hendrik made the weekend special. Will definitely go back. The animals come close and could be taken comfortably with my phone.
Overall it is a nice place and will go back again.
Thanks to everyone for a great time. It was nice to walk in the field, and sit on the lookout post and enjoy a snack while the sun set.
See stars.
The lodge is recommended for individuals who'd like to experience nature. We didn't see much game since health problems prohibited us from going on a paid game drive. We were a bit disappointed with dinner since, according to us, it wasn't worth the price. The treatment we received was very kind and we really liked Helena.
Service was very good. Place very nice and facilities were neat. Would recommend it for sure.
If you are looking for a suitable getaway then Witgatboom is the answer.
Will be perfect for a family reunion.
So so relaxing, exactly what we needed, the farm is beautifully maintained. We appreciated the fact that the nightwhats sorted out the hot water and the security. Beautiful game. Will recommend it to anyone ni need of relaxation. Ideal for school groups and hunting parties, will be back. Our stay was much too short. Thanks for the safari.
It was a very neat and clean chalet. The staff and owner is very helpful and friendly. Would've liked our own kitchen, but sharing it with the nice neighbours actually worked out.
Very neat bush camp and amenities. Great, hospitable owners. We had a great time and made new friends. Will definitely go back.
The hospitality was top notch. The game drive was definitely a highlight, as was the boma area with its huge bushfire. The owner and management go to great lengths to pamper guests. We can recommend the lodge with confidence. Definitely go again.
A weekend that we will remember always. Thank you for all the treats. Will definitely come back soon. It was definitely the best choice for a getaway.
We thoroughly enjoyed the setting with wonderful bonfires at night. Guided game watching was very good! The owner made sure that we were settled and happy! The whole camp was well attended to with friendly staff. Great stay!
It was a short, but pleasant, experience. The layout is very good. Will definitely go there again. You get more than you realise.
We had an incredibly good time. Helene was a wonderful hostess and we had a good time and she gave us a lot of information regarding the farm which was interesting. The place is super pretty and convenient. I will return and can recommend it.
