Inibos Luxury Bush Camp

As well as all the wildlife-spotting chances you have around the campsite, there are several other protected reserves within easy distance. Pack a picnic and eat it around a braai in Schuinsdraai Nature Reserve (25 minutes’ drive), where you have the chance to spot wildebeest, antelope and zebras among many, many other animals. Wild, untamed Bewaarkloof Nature Reserve (two hours) is a smashing spot for off-roading adventures along dry river beds and through mighty mountain passes. For more sedate pursuits, there’s fishing for bass and carp at Arabie Dam (half an hour), and you can practise your golf swing on the course at Groblersdal Golf Club (55 minutes). If you’re after active family days out, head for Mkhombo Nature Reserve (an hour and 20 minutes) for quad biking adventures and a panoramic aerial cable trail, while Witvinger Nature Reserve (an hour and 40 minutes) is a haven for hikers and cyclists.
