Rude staff by

We camped, the facilities were good. However on arrival the reception was not incredibly helpful and did not have our booking recorded. In addition the staff member was rude. The actual place and other staff were good.


Convenient location and friendly however overpriced by

Positives: Clean accommodation, friendly staff, convenient location, all amenities/equipment included. Negatives: Older style chalets, DISMAL restaurant (only buffet which was very poor quality and expensive for what was on offer [R150pp]!), overpriced.


50/50 by

This trip was our 2nd stay at the resort. We enjoyed the experience but had a few issues: 1) The shop did not open at 8am as stated on the door. 2) lots of outside visitors came to make use of the pool making it over crowded. These visitors also showed no respect and left all their rubbish laying around even though there was a bin a meter away from them. 3) the ablution block toilets were not clean, most of the toilets didn't flush and the toilet paper ran out. 4) our biggest issue.... we should have been informed before our trip that the resort had cancelled its contract with the park. We would have cancelled our trip and gone somewhere else. I understand that this is the busy season but more staff during this time would benefit the resort.


Day visitors by

Hello Bakgatla. Thank you letting us stay with you it was great. The only problem i had was that the day visitors were very loud and untidy. They left the bathrooms in a horrible state.


The pool by

We always enjoy our stay at bakgatla, however the one problem we have is with pool maintenance. It was the second time now that we are unable to go swimming because of the dirty water, the water was super green and disgusting. But overall everything else was on point as usual


Poorly maintained by

Truly disappointed by the resort. Not sure how the resort obtained an electrical compliance certificate. Three if the four electrical points were not covered and exposed to rain, one of which already rusted away and did not work. The road between the camp sites were littered with broken shards of tiles, ablutions were dirty and drains were blocked. The lawns at the swimming pool was covered in devil's thorns.


Peaceful break with the family by

The staff at the camp are friendly and helpful. The bathrooms are in need of an upgrade but are kept remarkably clean especially given the number of campers. I would like to see the structures such as the guard hut near the caravan site repaired as it has broken windows and is very run down and the maintenance building area near the non electrified tent sites should be walled off as it's a bit of an eyesore. Overall the camp is great. Be prepared for serious mud if there is a large amount of rain such as we had during our stay. This is quite unavoidable given it's a busy camp site. Although I am not a fan of concrete slabs in camp sites it may be helpful for caravaners and reduce the inevitable mud after a heavy rain.


Will visit very soon again by

The camping area was clean and neat, ablution clean and neat, we will be visiting soon. Food was great and everything was just perfect


the park is amazing, the camp sites need to be maintained to a higher standard by

there was a lot of loud music in camp which is not what we go to the bush for, management should enforce that there are not campers playing loud music


Bakgatla Resort by

The 5 sleeper chalets were clean neat, light and airy. The reception and gate staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Breakfast was great. Had incredible sightings of caracal and lion close the resort. We'll be back!


Poor value for money by

Towels were grey and very washed out and the bathroom ceiling was stained with leak marks. Everything in the chalet seemed a little bit old and neglected.


Peace and quiet by

Booking was a bit strange. It was impossible to check availability online. Staff were polite and friendly and the camp was lovely and peaceful especially for school holidays. The facilities were generally clean, but the campsite needs a bit of attention. The section round the restaurant could do with some more trees and prettying up. All in all a very pleasant visit, thank you.
