"We were lucky to be upgraded to the guest lodge, with more space and private amenities. On arrival however, we were a little disconcerted as to the aged state of the old farmhouse. Everything was clean and there were plenty of rooms, kitchen utensils etc, but the building needs a lot of TLC - e.g. a..."

"We had a lovely stay, thank you for hosting us. A special thank you to Alios, you made us feel super welcome. "
"Griffons Bush Camp was just what we needed. The camp is small and private which means peace and quiet for a tired city dweller. Time seems to stand still at the camp... bird song and beautiful vistas fill your day and by night, stars and stillness. Bathroom on suite and under the blanket of bushveld..."
more"We enjoyed the peace and quiet and to have various game species wandering around the chalets. It is encouraging to see the great number of Cape Vultures soaring above and around Kranskop. "
"The people that run the place are attentive and considerate. Plenty of good quality firewood was provided as well as drinking water. The King size bed was also very comfortable.
The scenery is incredible, with a view of the highest point in the Waterberg onto the Cape Griffon vulture colony. ..."
"Griffons is in a beautiful setting - feels like you're in the middle of the bush.
You can make it up there but we'd recommend a 4x4 as our saloon car struggled.
If you are staying there to visit Marakele, be aware its 9.5km of dirt road away from the National Park entrance (meaning it..."
"We enjoyed our 3 night stay at Griffons. Its a beautiful and peaceful spot. The quiet nights under intense starry skies were simply magic. It has the best views of the Cape Vultures- you cant access the cliffs from the Marakele side. It has a communal kitchen so it may be a bit awkward if all four c..."
more"the location of the camp is a little 'off track' , so not that easy to find. Upon arriving you should call a phone number, but there is no signal of the operators in this area .... but then we were welcomed by very friendly staff, who guided us to the camp.
the camp itself was a good experience ;..."
"What a spot of beauty in nature. Under the mountain. I really enjoyed this.
Unfortunately there is a but. But somewhat neglected camp. Hardly any glasses. Only two unmatched wine glasses and what looks like two sherry glasses. Cheap and blunt cutlery. No electricity to charge a phone. A small..."
"What a beautiful and peaceful place. Stunning mountain views! We both really enjoyed the piece and quiet! Thanks again to Thoma for being such a wonderful and knowledgeable host."
"We had a wonderful 3 night stay at Griffons in December. It is superb for a bush breakaway, especially if you want to avoid crowds. Thoma is an excellent camp manager and together with his sidekick Foxy the meerkat, they ensured that our stay was truly memorable. I will certainly be returning to thi..."
more"We had an awesome time at Griffons! Primitive with a touch of luxury! Great views, perfect for a relaxing breakaway. We loved every moment, and the management of Griffons just made us feel at home. Thank you for a fantastic time! "
"AMAZING! This was one of the best experiences we had at a Bush camp. Thomas Hoslet was a wonderful host. He met us at the gate, showed us our chalet and during the day he made regular turns to make sure we had everything we need. He has a vast knowledge of animals and we learned a lot. Griffons..."
more"Tremendous weekend. Basic but comfortable accommodation. Great views. Incredibly helpful and knowledgeable game ranger. Easy access to the beautiful Marakele National Park."
"We enjoyed our stay at Griffons Bush Camp. Was a bit uncertain about the outside shower, but enjoyed it at the end. Great views of the mountain. It was amazing to watch the vultures. Staff were friendly. Although we really enjoyed our stay, this lodge is especially suited for groups of people due t..."
more"Fantastic. Beautiful views and stunning people with a great knowledge of the area and wildlife!"
"Wat ? ervaring vir 2 dames reeds gevorderd in jare. Buite badkamergeriewe, sterre wat nags gepluk kan word so naby voel en lyk dit, geen elektrisiteit net gas en solar, wonderlike stilte met net die natuur se geluide. ? Begeleide stap wat jou insig gee van die omgewing. ? Heerlike oogoopmaker oor Ma..."
more"If you are looking for an "out of Africa experience" then Griffons Bush Camp is the place to go. Situated within the Marakele National Park, it is un-fenced but mostly protected from the big game by the mountains behind it. As avid birders we were delighted to learn about the huge breeding colony ..."
more"Our stay was wonderfully interesting as we decided on this getaway to go with just the basics. It was an amazing stay at the Bush Camp, it was beautifully presented, nice facilities, and an outdoor shower. We had a most enjoyable time on the game drives and the game walk through the bush, we also sa..."
more"Griffons camp is a complete find. Basic but all you need and beautiful. So wonderful to get away to a place where you instantly relax. Also it was fantastic. Leave everything to be, a great bush camp."
"Stunning! Stunning! Stunning! A real blessing to have spent 5 days in this blissful tranquil bush camp. Lovely rooms, friendly and most accommodating staff. A very worthwhile getaway destination!"
"This is a lovely place to go to if you feel like taking a break away from everything. Had a good stay and would recommend."
"Ons het n' ongelooflike tyd gehad. Van besige bedorwe stads lewe, na die ongelooflike mooi, stil, rustige bos. Die hele familie het die naweek geniet
Die buitenste ope lug badkamer was vir die dames n' uitdaging maar tog soveel pret.... Foxy en die kinders het sommer dadelik ge"click" en het s..."
"Griffons Bush camp is a great get-away. It is a great place to relax and forget the outside world. There is no stress at Griffons."
"Griffon's Lodge is situated below a mountain slope, part of the Waterberge and home to a large breeding colony of Cape vultures. It is a common sight to see the vultures wheeling over the cliff tops as they come in to nest and feed their young.
The Lodge consists of a main unit which is a fully ..."
"Griffons Bush Camp is in a beautiful setting and is a great place to relax.
The camp is run by a ranger who is very knowledgable and who went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable.
We saw bush buck, kudu, warthog and impala from our room."
"My wife and I spent 2 nights at Griffons. The atmosphere was very peaceful. The setting is amazing with the bush camp nestled below the impressive cliffs of the Waterberg range. The chalet's are great, especially the outside bathrooms. The kitchen was well stocked and having a fridge/freezer on site..."
