Reviews of Camp Fig Tree

"Camp Fig Tree is located about 30 minutes drive from the Addo Elephant Park, about 10kms up a gravel road. On our only full day, we went on a full day guided drive, on which we saw lots of elephants but also two lionesses hunting warthog, buffalo, jackal, goshawk and a distant view of a black rhino. This was a fantastic day with plenty to eat and drink at lunchtime. The half day would have been more of a rush as the site is very expansive.

Our accommodation was really good with a fantastic view from our boardwalk balcony.
The restaurant was excellent, which is a relief as there is no other restaurant easily accessible." See all these reviews: 9n in South Africa

"Lovely place, delightful people. We went once with them to Addo and were shown Meercts which we'd never have noticed on our own. We are better at elephants. Went again on our own which was fun.

We did a walk with Saul our guide. interesting, he looked after us well and was a mine of info. Meals were fine and we felt like colonial settlers, prices were ever so reasonable

Things we noticed - their upkeep/maintenance is poor. The swimming pool is falling to bits on the outside, our loo door didn't shut and could easily have been fixed and the worst is the "unfiltered" water. No drinking water, the bath/shower/basin water us really DARK brown and very unpleasant to bathe in let alone wash light coloured clothes. A bath is literally dark brown and opaque.

They say this is unfiltered well water but aesthetically it is not nice. The electricity is turned off during the day so the pool water is full of debris as the skimmers cant work without power. So lovely place, but needs more £££ spent on it." See all these reviews: 18n in South Africa
