The chalet also features an outdoor swimming pool and a hot tub for guests to relax in. Guests at AfriCamps at Ingwe will be able to enjoy activities in and around Plettenberg Bay, like fishing and hiking. Guests can also warm themselves near outdoor fireplace after a day of cycling.

I'm officially in love with Africamps. On my next trip to South Africa I would seek out more of their locations. (Although I usually travel solo - please create some solo travel friendly tents!) The tent itself is much cuter than I even expected. The bedrooms are separated by the living room/kitchen so gives privacy. The kitchen is well stocked and there is even drinking water provided which was much appreciated! The deck is huge and the perfect place to sit and watch the sunset. Deer regularly visit, which was just a treat. If you like to star gaze, at night at Ingwe you can just see so many stars. One of my favourite bonuses was the heated blankets on the bed. I would turn it on just before bedtime, and then crawl into a warm heated bed to end the day. The location is also perfect. If you are planning on visiting any of the local animal sanctuaries there is no better location. We were so close by to all of them! At only a 15 - 20 minute drive to Plettenberg you can easily head into town for anything you need. Just keep in mind there are no streetlights on the way back, and the camp is off the main road on some tiny unpaved roads so I recommend planning to get back before it gets too dark.

    Best stay during our trip to Cape Town and garden route (and we stayed in 7 different guest houses). The host are super friendly and they pay lot of attention to detail with decoration and small, but useful details in the room. Superb breakfast which includes continental and traditional english, very clean rooms and facilities. Nice and safe location with walking distance to restaurants and market. Beach is just 3 min from the lodge.
