Fantastic, saw elephants very close. It is a very nice place, people are friendly and make you feel at home. Saw elephants very close, just as we were getting there. Nice barbecue place.

Fantasties, olifante baie naby gesien. Dit is 'n baie lekker plek, mense is vriendelik en laat mens tuis voel. Het olifante baie naby gesien, sommer toe ons al daar aankom. Lekker braaiplek.

Very nice, friendly staff. Great place for a holiday in the forest.

Baie lekker, vriendelike personeel. Great plek vir 'n vakansie in die bos.

Great relaxing in the forest. We had a great time. Agnus and her team are very friendly and helpful. The extras that have to be paid for make it quite an expensive outing.

Heerlik ontspan in die bos. Ons het baie lekker gekuier. Agnus en haar span is baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Die ekstras waarvoor betaal moet word maak dit nogal 'n duur uitspan.

Nice view but not suitable for self-catering or longer than 2 days. The one room was adequate, no self-catering facility, no stove, microwave oven, had to ask for everything, plates etc. after I asked if the self catering. The B&B has the same breakfast every day: omelette with liver. I don't eat it anymore. No pots or proper braai facilities.

Uitsig mooi maar nie geskik vir selfsorg of langer as 2 dae nie. Die een vertrek kamer het maar voldoen, geen selfsorgfasiliteit, geen stoof, mikrogolfoond, moes vra vir alles, borde ens. nadat ek gevra het of die selfsorg is. Die B&B elke dag die selfde ontbyt: omelet met lewertjies. Ek eet nie meer dit nie. Geen potte of behoorlike braaigeriewe nie.

A lovely venue amongst the animals and on the river. We were welcomed as if we were old friends by Agnes and Rikus, and they went out of their way to ensure that we have a happy time. The food was out of this world, and the accommodation was clean and comfortable. I would recommend Rio Dos Elefantes anytime.

Stunning, stunning, stunning - the best! One of the most beautiful and enjoyable camps in SA. Very good price and what an amazing service and location. If you want to experience the forest, the place is just for you.

Stunning, stunning, stunning - die beste! Een van die mooiste en lekkerste kampe in SA. Prys baie goed en watse ongelooflike diens en ligging. As jy die bos wil beleef is die plak net vir jou.

In the forest, where there is peace and quiet. Our group of 10 people, made up by family and friends, enjoyed 5 days at Rio dos Elefantes with auntie Agnes. Everyone's hospitality soon made us feel welcome and we made ourselves at home in comfortable rooms. Everything that is needed is in the rooms and kitchen or at the meeting place under bushy trees. Breakfast is unique with a great variety. Make sure everything on your list goes together so you don't have to go to town unnecessarily. Thank you very much Agnes and team for a nice visit.

In die bos, waar rus en vrede is. Ons groep van 10 mense wat op gemaak is deur familie en vriende het 5 dae by Rio dos Elefantes geniet saam tannie Agnes. Almal se gasvryheid het ons gou laat welkom voel en ons het ons tuis gemaak in gerieflike kamers. Alles wat nodig is, is in die kamers en kombuis of by die kuierplek onder ruig bome. Ontbyt is uniek met 'n groot verskeidenheid. Maak seker dat alles op jou lys saam gaan sodat jy nie onnodig moet dorp toe. Baie dankie Agnes en span vir 'n lekker kuier.

Disappointing. Due to following factors we only had one night instead of Stayed 5 nights: Poor road description, not good reception, no hot water to shower in and mediocre breakfast.

Teleurstellend. As gevolg van volgende faktore het ons slegs een aand i.p.v. 5 aande oorgebly: Swak padbeskrywing, nie goeie ontvangs nie, geen warm water om in te stort nie en middelmatige ontbyt.

Basic bush camping facilities with good location. There are positive as well as negative points to mention. Comfortable lapa with braai facilities and a view of the river. Very helpful staff who are always helpful. Large lawn with swimming area for children. Feel part of nature, as there is no fence and even elephants come to drink water in the pool! Nice breakfast at the main camp. The accommodation is very basic. The accommodation was created in the former farmhouse. Consists of 4 units that can accommodate a total of 14 guests. We were 11 and fortunately all one family. Due to lack of soundproofing and the sharing of one kitchenette with one fridge and freezer and shared crockery, it will become difficult to live there peacefully with strange guests. Rooms are only made on the side after 15:oo and please bring own towels together. The biggest problem was that only one person out of 11 of us could take a shower at a time due to very poor water pressure. Despite repeated requests, this could not be corrected. It even led to frustration in the family context. The information and photos provided also do not represent reality. There are 2 parts (camps) of the Rio dos Elefantes which differ greatly in terms of facilities. It should be described better and more accurately. We were under the impression that the place consisted of one camp of which we were the only guests. Would be better if the name was plural.

Basiese boskampgeriewe met goeie ligging. Daar is positiewe, sowel as negatiewe punte om te noem. Gerieflike lapa met braaigeriewe en uitsig op die rivier. Baie hulpvaardige personeel wat deurgaans hulpvaardig is. Groot grasperk met swemplekkie vir kinders. Voel deel van die natuur, aangesien daar geen omheining is nie en selfs olifante het kom water drink in die swembad! Lekker ontbyt by die hoofkamp. Die verblyf is baie basies. Die akkommodasie is geskep in die eertydse plaashuis. Bestaan uit 4 eenhede wat totaal van 14 gaste kan akkommodeer. Ons was 11 en gelukkig almal een familie. Weens gebrek aan klankdigting en die deel van een kombuisie met een yskas en vrieskas en gedeelde breekware, sal dit moeilik raak om in vrede saam daar te bly met vreemde gaste. Kamers word eers aan die kant gemaak na 15:oo en bring asb. eie handdoeke saam. Die grootste probleem was dat slegs een persoon van ons 11 kon stort op ‘n keer weens baie swak waterdruk. Ten spyte van herhaalde versoeke kon dit nie reggestel word nie. Dit het selfs in familieverband gely tot frustrasie. Die inligting en foto's verskaf verteenwoordig ook nie die werklikheid nie. Daar is 2 dele (kampe) van die Rio dos Elefantes wat in terme van geriewe baie verskil. Dit behoort beter en meer akkuraat beskryf te word. Ons was onder die indruk dat die plek bestaan uit een kamp wat ons die enigste gaste van is. Sou beter wees as die naam in meervoud was.
