Reviews of Agama Tented Camp


"Perfect spot in unspoiled nature. "

Evelien Roeleven

"I loved the way Victor and Linda made us feel at home. The tent was great. Including the hot water bag to warm up the bed in the cold Namakwa night. With Karin I discussed the different ways to make boboti. The camp is part of a farm and completely self suffucient. Impressing. "


"Best place of our trip"

Bert Kuyper

"What an unbelievable experience. The best place we stayed during our trip. Fantastic scenery!
The 'tents' are fantastic with everything you need.
Great dinner and breakfast.
Go there! "


"Hidden Gem with a Gommie added in."

Gommie provided fireside entertainment and Linda, great food.

Fabulous and we will be back in flower season."

The next day was sheer bliss, waking up in a luxurious fluffy bed to the sound of bokmakieries and the smell of frying bacon... we'll definitely be back!"

"We stayed 2 nights at Agama tented camp. It is really beautiful and peaceful. The hosts really make you feel welcome and the food is really good!! There is a nice entertainment area with a pool that you can relax at during the day. There is also a nice boma area where you can sit around a fire before or after dinner. The rooms are comfortable and all have nice views. You will also get to meet a little meerkat gommie that is tame and once you get to know her she is rather cute. "

The tents are cosy and comfortable.

After time at the bar and meeting other guests as well as dinner,time was spent around the fire with lots of chatting and laughing.A clever device is place under your chair with hot coal to warm your nether region!

There is lots more to rave about,but go there yourself and find out!"

The tents are very comfortable, with all necessary amenities and very comfy beds. The food was outstanding - much of it, a lot of choice and tasty: homestyle cooking but with all the touches. We really enjoyed our stay and are so glad that we found this on the internet. We'd love to go back one day. We also appreciated the many SMS updates re our expected arrival from Karien. Many thanks. (PS: Evan has the most amazing welcoming smile)."

To name but a few of the things that made it special: the lovely surroundings, the quiet, the accommodation, the tasty meals, the fire in the boma at night, the live guitar music on Saturday night, the attention to detail. This is where we will stay next time too."

"Unique Experience Close To Nature."

It has friendly and helpful staff.
