Boulders accomodation units are all connected by above the ground walkways .

I would love that. How do you get up there? Is it steps or a gradual slope.

At Boulders the vehicles are parked underneath the entertainment area. From there you walk up a few stairs 'into' the camp area (has a gate at the top of the stairs). The entertainment area and the bedrooms are all on the same level, connected via fenced walkways 6 feet + above the ground. The braai area is 'outside' on a koppie and not fenced in, the rest of the camp is elevated so no need for a fence.
All the hiking trail camps are fenced, except for the Olifants Back Pack Trail - for obvious reasons.

I would love to stay there, rickety or not. Heaven to sit on the verandah and look at the stars at night and animals by day.

Does anyone know what Boulders is like at the moment. I am due to stay there for 4 days next week. What is the condition like? Can you charge camera batteries etc?

We were there in early May this year and it was lovely, would definitely go there again. There was no problem charging batteries, cellphones etc, the only minor problem was a slight lack of warm water in the showers, which has since been attended to

Thanks for the reply and info. Are the boardwalks between the units open or caged in? How safe is it to walk on the boardwalks at night?

You guys should work for SANParks advertising

Good Morning allane, the boardwalks are enclosed and well lit and we walked them all night long
You are going to have a lovely time, the staff are excellent and the venue brilliant - enjoy!

Hi everyone.
We r going to boulders in july
Really excited
We were wondering what roads are best to drive on to see animals around boulders???

Hallo Chicken.Pie

Welcome to the Forums.

Surely one of the routes that you should drive would be the S106 past Nshawu nr1 to nr5. Then left on the S143. Right on the main H1-6. Left at the S142 towards Mopani and Pioneer dam and then the S136 back towards camp.

Remember to stop at the Shipandani Hide.

I hope you have a wonderful time.

Thanks for your advice Joao!!
We will try that route

Also does anyone know if the S136 is in good condition?
