Unbelievable AfriCamps Glamping: Kam'Bati's Hidden Safari Paradise!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into a review of this hotel, and it's gonna be less sterile brochure and more "confessions of a travel-obsessed lunatic" – and let's be honest, you deserve that. This isn't just some laundry list of amenities, it's about feeling the place, alright? And hopefully, feeling compelled to book a damn room by the end of it.
Accessibility: First Impressions Matter, Folks!
Right off the bat, the accessibility info… well, it's a bit of a mixed bag. They say they have facilities for disabled guests, which is a hopeful sign, but the nitty-gritty details are missing. I'm a stickler for this, so I'd be calling and asking specific questions before booking. Wheelchair access mentioned, but is the pool accessible? Are the restaurants? These are crucial. They’ve got an elevator, thank god, because lugging luggage up stairs after a long flight is nobody’s idea of a good vacation.
Cleanliness & Safety: COVID-19 - Let's Get Real (and Slightly Paranoid)
Okay, COVID-19. The elephant in the room (and maybe in your luggage). This hotel seems to be taking it seriously, thankfully. They claim to have anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, and room sanitization between stays. They’ve got hand sanitizer everywhere (important!), and staff is supposedly trained in safety protocols. They even offer room sanitization opt-out which is brilliant. You also get individually-wrapped food options - which, okay, let's face it feels as clinical as a hospital, but is still comforting. This is where the paranoia kicks in. I would probably still bring my own wipes, you know? Can't hurt. Oh, and the fact they have a doctor/nurse on call? Bonus. I’m a hypochondriac, so that makes me breathe a little easier.
Internet: The Digital Addiction…Er, Necessity
Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Yes! And free Wi-Fi in public areas? Double yes! They also have Internet [LAN] in rooms if you’re feeling old-school. Okay, they have Internet services and mention Wi-Fi for special events, but let's be honest: as long as the Wi-Fi is strong enough for binging Netflix in the bath, I'm happy. (And don’t judge!)
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Feed Me, Seymour!
This is where it gets interesting. They have a whole lumberjack's worth of options. A la carte, Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine, Bar, Breakfast buffet, buffet in the restaurant, Coffee shop, Dessert, Poolside bar, Restaurants, Room service (24-hour!), and… deep breath… Vegetarian options and Western cuisine. That's a lot. I’m a breakfast buffet fiend, so that gives them major points with me. Here's an anecdote when I'd walked in the hotel restaurant back in the day and seen tables laden with pastries, fresh fruit, and made-to-order omelets? Heaven, I tell you. I'm talking multiple plates and a blissful food coma afterward. And the Poolside bar? Perfect for hiding from the sun with a cocktail!
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: The Good Stuff
Ah, the things to do! They have a pool with a view. SOLD! They have a sauna, a spa, a steam room! AND… oh sweet mother of relaxation… MASSAGE?!?! Yes, please. I spent one particularly stressful year, and I think I got a massage every other week. (And I was a cheapskate.) It really does wonders for your mental health as well. I’m also a sucker for a good body scrub and wrap. I’ll be honest the fitness center is something I say I’ll use but…well…I’m not a gym bunny. But hey, it’s there, right? (And maybe I’ll feel guilty enough to break a sweat.)
Services and Conveniences: The Little Luxuries (and the Absolute Essentials)
They have air conditioning in public areas (again, YES!), a concierge (handy!), currency exchange, a gift/souvenir shop, and daily housekeeping. They have facilities for disabled guests (mentioned earlier, but important to reiterate!). They offer dry cleaning, laundry, ironing service, and luggage storage. Basically, everything you could want. They have a convenience store. This is perfect for that midnight snack attack or that forgotten toothbrush. They have a doorman. I love a good doorman. Makes you feel classy. There's also a doctor, which is comforting.
For the Kids: Family Friendly? Or Family Nightmare?
They specifically mention "family/child friendly" and even babysitting. They have kids facilities and kids meals. My personal life doesn't include kids, so I cannot comment. On the other hand, I have witnessed parents at other hotels, and it definitely impacts the level of relaxation.
In-Room Amenities: The Nitty Gritty
They have air conditioning, alarm clocks, bathrobes, coffee/tea makers, FREE bottled water, hair dryers, in-room safes. So basically, you’ve got the essentials and a few little extras. There’s an extra-long bed. Sighs happily.
Getting Around: Transportation and Parking
They have airport transfer, BUT they also have car parking [free of charge]! (Bless the free parking gods!) They also have a car park on-site, and taxi service. Transportation options are important, especially if you don't want the hassle of navigating public transport.
The (Slightly Messy) Verdict
This hotel sounds like a solid choice. The cleanliness promises are reassuring, and those relaxation options… oh, the relaxation options. But I can't help but have a few reservations. The accessibility details need more clarification. And I'd need to see the safety protocols in action before feeling completely at ease.

Indonesian Paradise: Your Romantic Bali Villa Awaits (K26)
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's travel itinerary. This is a messy, wonderful, gloriously imperfect plan for AfriCamps at Kam'Bati, South Africa. Consider this less a schedule and more a… well, a vibe.
AfriCamps at Kam'Bati: A Chaotic Symphony of Relaxation and Mosquito Bites
(Disclaimer: May contain excessive exclamation points, questionable decisions, and a distinct lack of knowing what day it is.)
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Tent Panic of '24
- Morning (or whenever we manage to drag ourselves out of bed, honestly): Fly into Cape Town. Oh, Cape Town! The city of beauty, the city of… well, airport chaos. Let's hope we remembered to pack our sense of humor because we'll need it.
- Midday (ish): Rent the car. This is where the real adventure begins! Driving on the "wrong" side of the road? It's going to be fun! Let's just pray I can remember the gears. I've heard horror stories. Pray for me.
- Afternoon: The Drive! From Cape Town to AfriCamps at Kam'Bati. About a 2-hour drive…in theory. I'm planning on many stops, because, hello, beauty! Gotta capture the gorgeous South African countryside. And pee breaks – essential.
- Anecdote: Last time I tried a road trip, I accidentally took a wrong turn and ended up in a place that looked suspiciously like a scene from Mad Max. My travel buddy (who shall remain nameless, but she’s a worrier) nearly had a heart attack. Hopefully, this time we aren't going to get lost. Famous last words.
- Late Afternoon/Early Evening (the “Where’s the Wine?” Hour): Arrival at AfriCamps. Behold, the glamping! Let's gawk at the tents. Are they as impossibly Instagrammable as the website says? Probably. Let's hope our tent isn't too close to the toilets. Also hopefully, the Wi-Fi isn’t so bad.
- Evening: The Great Tent Panic of '24. Okay, let's be honest, setting up camp has the potential to be a disaster. So, we get to figure out the tent situation. We are probably going to face a few challenges and maybe a slight argument. But then, WE are going to win.
- Quirky Observation: Who knew unpacking involved so many tiny plastic bags? Seriously, is this an archaeological dig?
- Night: Braai time! We're talking South African BBQ. Meat, fire, stars… what more could you want? Apart from maybe a mosquito net. And a decent bottle of red wine. We're not fancy, but we do appreciate a decent bottle of red.
- Rambling Thought: I hope I don’t burn the meat this time. Last time I attempted a braai, the sausages ended up resembling charcoal briquettes. Oops. Remember to bring matches, lighter fluid, and some backup snacks. I'm not saying someone will probably burn dinner, but let's just say… preparedness is key.
Day 2: Kayaks, Koalas, and Culinary Catastrophes
- Morning: Waking up to the sounds of nature! Birds chirping, the soft gurgle of the river… or maybe it's just the neighbor's toddler having a tantrum.
- Breakfast: Pretend to be civilized and eat a leisurely breakfast on the deck. Eggs and bacon, a view, and a cup of coffee that is probably not strong enough to function.
- Late Morning: Kayak Capers: Time for some water fun! We're going to try out the kayaks. Hopefully, we won't tip over.
- Emotional Reaction: Floating down the river in the sunshine. Pure, unadulterated bliss. Oh, God, I hope I don't fall in.
- Afternoon: The Great River Monster? After the kayak adventure, we should go for a walk. I want to see if there are any real cool animals to see.
- Evening: Culinary Catastrophe (Part 2): Tonight, we tackle dinner. I've got a feeling it's going to be a bit of a mess.
- Messy Thought: I'm kind of terrified. But also, maybe we'll get a good story out of it. And if not, there's always the backup snacks.
- Night: Stargazing! AfriCamps is known for its incredible night skies. We're going to lie on the deck, drink wine, and marvel at the universe. (Hopefully, no one will fall asleep.)
Day 3: Goodbye, Kam'Bati; Hello, Real Life (Kinda)
- Morning: The bittersweet feeling of packing up. We're leaving AfriCamps! But first, we are going to grab a final breakfast.
- Late Morning: Check out. Say our goodbyes to the glamorous camping life.
- Afternoon: The Drive Back.
- Evening: Arrive back home with fond memories, mosquito bites, and a desperate longing to return to the peace and quiet of Kam'Bati.
Notes & Nonsense:
- Packing: Pack light, but don't forget the essentials: Sunscreen, insect repellent, a sense of adventure, and a healthy dose of humor.
- Food: Plan the meals! Bring snacks! Seriously, snacks are crucial.
- Flexibility: This is a loose plan. Embrace the unexpected, and don't be afraid to change things up.
- The Bottom Line: This trip is about relaxing, recharging, and making memories. If things go wrong, laugh it off and move on. Life's too short to be stressed.
- Most Importantly: Have fun, dammit!
And remember, this is your adventure. Make it your own. Now, go forth, and may your travels be filled with sunshine, laughter, and hopefully, not too many mosquito bites.
