All those tents have a great view but I guess Lourie is more favoured because you don't often hear cars driving pass and it's referred to be "away from other tents".

The overall appearance of all tents have been recently renovated and the monkeys no longer vandalise kitchens because cupboards have been fitted with locking doors.

What a magnificent place!!!!!! We just came back from long weekend at TLOPI Camp stayed in Jacana , neat , clean fantastic view over the full dam
must be better to visit after winter just before summer rainfall because veld was dense no ellies or rhinos .

thanks to previous trip reports it was the right descion made

Hi,

Yes we going there this weekend hope we get to see some animals and tick a few off the bird list.

Just got back from marakele last night and had some great sightings of ellies with a new special for us in a spotted gennet visiting the camp. As usual it was a most enjoyable and restful experience.

Gaan eet hom Kitty!!

Just be careful of the monkeys. They are very clever and will try and get anything to eat.

I took this picture of this monkey trying to get in the tent next door.



Before we knew it one stole some biscuits and made a run for it.

Up at Thlopi these little black faced devils can be very naughty but fortunately their big cousins, baboon & co, are pretty skittish and our experience have been that they tend to scamper away from humans, even in vehicles.

In Bontle they have managed to keep them away and scared of humans.
