Because the Big 5 – elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion and leopard – are not present in the Camdeboo National Park, visitors have the freedom to walk, cycle or hike through the park safely. A variety of hiking and walking trails are available. Visitors can enjoy non-motorized water sports on the dam, including surfing, kayaking or canoeing.

Self-drive game viewing is available, but don’t expect to see large quantities or a wide variety of animals. Enjoy the peaceful tranquillity and soak up the fresh air while birdwatching. The Camdeboo National Park is the ideal location for a family breakaway and for enjoying the vast landscapes and Karoo scenery.
