Lake Eland
Hi.
We camped at Lake Eland Oribi gorge over the easter weekend what a lovely place and so much to see and do at this nature reserve.
However what impressed me was the honesty of the staff.
We went out for the day to explore the area and discovered I had left my cell phone on the table outside my caravan.
Bye bye cell phone so I thought.
Arrived back at the camp six hours later and noticed the staff had been to my site to clean the braai and rake the site, and on the table exactly where I had left it was my cell phone untouched.
Hows that for honesty.
Nee ek dink jy was maar net gelukkig, of hulle was blind.
Al weer oppad iewers heen.

Luck was aan jou kant
"Nou gaan ons braai!!!! Kamp met oorgawe!!!!"

While camping at Scottburgh we did a day visit to Oribi Gorge and Lake Eland. As you say, there is so much to do that one needs more than a day.
Did you take the caravan all the way down to the lake or did you camp near the entrance Clive?
@ Chuck Norris and Andre. Miskien julle is reg ek was baie gelukkig.
@ Hendrik M. We camped at the sites near the entrance.
The camp sites by the lake are lovely but I don't think I would take my van down there.
It might be ok for a trailer or off road caravan but my Sprite Splash is too low and the steadies will drag on some of the roads leading to the lake.
I was wondering if you dared to take a road caravan down to the Lake.
We never had a look at the ablutions and facilities at the top campsite. Your comments will be appreciated.
There are two ablutions the ones we used had six toilets four showers a wash up area for dishes and hot water supplied by gas geyser.
The other ablution was a bit smaller and hot water supplied by donkey but not in use while I was there.
The sites are pretty small a caravan just fits on the site.
Sites two and twelve are ideal sites for a caravan as they are fairly big.
The restaurant serves very nice meals and there is a swimming pool.
Did you pay a visit to leopard rock restaurant what a lovely view from the deck and meals are reasonably priced.
Sulke eerlikheid is n riem onder die hart. Mens kan terugkeer na so n plek. Die bestuur behoort kennis te neem van die betrokke personeel se gedrag. Anyhow, good to know!

Thanks for the feedback Clive.
Our day was too short to visit all the places. We did make a stop at the old Oribi Gorge Hotel where we had to pay entrance fee to visit the old view points. I remember them as a teenager and not much has changed there.
Chuck en Andre jy kan sien ons kom van gangsters paradise (GP) af so iets gebeur nie by ons nie
Enige aanbevole staanplek nommers?

Kampeer is aansteeklik en verslawend ðŸËÂ

Ons het plek bespreek vir Desember....soos ek foto's en aktiwiteite sien op facebook lyk dit of ons dit gaan geniet

My swaer hulle was paar jaar terug daar, toe het hulle "cliff swinging" daar aangebied. Ek sien niks op hul website of facebook blad daarvan nie....is dit nog daar?
