Witmos Oxwagon Camp

Witmos Oxwagon camp offers a unique African outdoor experience with old-world charm. Guests are accommodated in restored historical Oxwagons. Relaxing evenings under the starry skies and in front of open pit fires are a favourite pastime for guests staying at Witmoskloof. Accommodation comprises various restored Oxwagons, which can accommodate 1 or 2 guests in each. Each wagon has a carpeted floor and is furnished with twin beds that can be converted into king-size beds. These quaint wagons have access to 3 shared communal bathrooms that contain gas and wood-burning geysers, showers, basins, and toilets, as well as an extra shared guest toilet. The camp has solar electricity for general lighting in the wagons to light the pathways and a mobile phone charging station. We can accommodate children in the oxwagons on a mattress by arrangement. Please feel free to reach out to us directly to make this arrangement for children under 12 sleeping in the oxwagons with their parents. The main building houses the communal kitchen and lounge area that has a cosy stone fireplace, and where guests can make use of the free Wi-Fi access. The camp also boasts a social fire pit, where guests can sit and socialise on clear nights and admire the many stars. Please reach out to us directly if you want to book the entire camp.
