Looking for peace and tranquility? Syringa Sands is the perfect destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.

Situated on the Kransberg plateau in the malaria free Waterberg in Limpopo, you will find us halfway Vaalwater and Thabazimbi, 38km from the Marakele National Park gate. The route to the gate is a scenic journey passing several large game farms; the last 40km stretch is a dirt road, a 4x4 higher clearance vehicle is recommended, especially in the rainy season.

The Rest Camp is beautifully located on the edge of a large farm dam. With the Seven Sisters mountain range in the background and a view of the dam and wetland. The site allows for great sunsets, good bird watching and game viewing. Wildlife, including zebra, impala, bushbuck and giraffe, roam this area freely and the nearby wetlands are a haven for a variety of bird life with kingfishers being regular summer visitors.

There is only one Rest Camp on the 1,000 HA farm - suitable for up to 8 guests. Bring tents (off road trailers and caravans only) and come camp. Alternatively book 1 or both of the 2 newly added bedrooms. The off-grid Rest Camp is ideal for both campers and non-campers to enjoy the bushveld together. With your booking you automatically reserve the entire camp and you will have exclusive use of the site. There is a neat thatched ablution facility with one toilet and one (hot and cold gas geyser) shower and dish washing area; a large under cover dining area, braai lapa and kitchenette with a 2 pit gas stove (no fridge/freezer). Both the undercover area and bedrooms have solar lighting.

If you are keen on some activity; there is a demarcated walking trail from the bridge; the dam offers some nice bass fishing, swimming and boating. Make sure to bring life vests and floating devices and to supervise children and poor swimmers at all times. The dam is 4 meters deep in the center.

Explore the farm on foot or mountain bike, game drives are available on request.

Apart from the campsite there are 2 cottages on the farm; the Forest Cottage for 4 at a distance of 2.5 km from the camp site and the Mountain Cottage for 2 at a distance of 5km from the forest cottage. Guests staying in the cottages may also visit the dam for some fishing and swimming.

Please remember to bring wood, drinking water, lights and torches. Join us and switch off - no connectivity, no electricity.

Great weekend away. Felt like we are the only ones on the entire farm. Everyting was clean and working. Paddled around. Caught some fish. Took a few hikes. Will be back.


Peaceful by

It was great to have the whole site to ourselves. Beautiful farm.


Ultimate tranquility by

We had a wonderful stay at Syringa Sands Bush Camp. Left Friday after work to escape the bustling Pretoria expecting a peaceful and quiet weekend in the bush being surprised with even more than we had hoped for. I can't remember the last time I saw so many shooting stars. Saturday morning we woke up to the snorting of a family of Red Hartebeest and while enjoying a refreshing coffee saw the ever curious giraffe on the other side of the dam. To top that, it was exciting to see the owner of the farm come say "hi" with his striking yellow kit plane. Enough to make any aviation enthusiast want to fly in to this farm. We went cycling and lost track of time (and sanity) in our exploration of this peace of heaven on earth. Feeling blessed to have seen such a variety of antelope, sometimes less than 30 metres away, the cherry on top was when we encountered the male Roan showing off his beauty. Saturday afternoon was laid-back as we hid from the sun under the willow trees next to the dam reading and napping off every now and then. It was a privilege to have met Shaun and Alex, the characters behind the creative inventions of the farm. Thank you for sharing a part of this ultimate tranquillity with us. I will most definitely recommend a break away to Syringa Sands to any nature and adventure lover. Be sure to see us again soon when we come to show our friends where and how to have a wonderful time.


Peaceful Beauty by

The campsite is perfectly situated overlooking the dam with the beautiful surroundings of nature. Our children enjoyed going on walks and fishing at the dam. The bathroom facilities were clean and the boma was perfect for late night fires.
