Description
These historic 1934 SAR carriages were brought to this location in the 60’s as a weekend retreat. They have been renovated and now form the hub for the Num-Num five-day trail, as well as other two, three, and four-day hiking trails on the estate.

We offer seven compartments, sleeping one to four people per compartment, providing a total of 20 berths. With a kitchen, bar, braai, and shop, this is the ideal start or end to any hike. Hikers should bring their own sleeping bags, pillows and towels.

The Pongola Express Camp in Waterval Boven Reviewed by Jan Van Woerden, South Africa on . Disappointed There was no one to meet us when we arrived. No one to take the balance of the money when we left. The mattress were torn. Sorry, some inspection should be done before you advertise this place again.<br></br> <b>Establishment's response</b><br></br> <i>I am sorry about this I was and am very ill, I sent my staff to go down to the camp but these guests did not call when they were at Machadodorp as instructed on our info sheet, so that we could meet and greet them, the nature of this trail is that everything is far apart and we cannot offer a reception in the normal since of the word and rely on guests calling to notify us that they are arriving, re the mattresses I will check them and repair any that are torn but as they had a choice of 20 beds to choose from I suspect they are just being iffy. I have also not received the balance they owe.</i>
The Pongola Express Camp in Waterval Boven Reviewed by Tharina Diedericks, South Africa on . Perfect Very quiet and rustic, we loved the old world feeling. Don't expect a 5 star lodge its very basic but we loved the peace. Everything you need is at hand.
