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.
