  • Late arrivals will be subject to a R200.00 escort fine from the main gate to the rest camp. Please advise reception in time if you will be late so that an escort is arranged in advance.
  • Bontebok National Park is a great day-visit location. Recently upgraded day-visitor facilities at “Die Stroom”.
