Tankwa Tented Camp & Lodge is a place where you can lose and find yourself at the same time. Halfway between Ceres and Calvinia in the Tankwa Karoo. You can find it along the R 355 which is 207 km and the longest uninterrupted dirt road in South Africa.

Situated on Stonehenge Private Nature Reserve, the Tankwa Tented Camp is bordered on two sides by the Tankwa National Park, making it a wonderful base for exploring the indigenous fauna and flora, and everything else this fascinating biodiversity hotspot has to offer.

This part of the Tankwa Karoo is the driest part of South Africa with an average annual rainfall of 80mm. For this reason, it is also the least populated, which makes it all the more attractive for visiting and getting away from it all!

Cabins
Tankwa Tented Camp offers 5 ensuite cabins, each cabin is equipped with 1 double bed and 1 single bed as well as an ensuite bathroom.

The camp offers communal braai bomas for self-catering guests as well as a restaurant.

The camp offers communal braai bomas for self-catering guests as well as a restaurant.

Tents
Tankwa Tented Camp offers 13 permanent ripstop canvas tents, covered with shade cloth. The original farmhouse (hartebeeshuisie) is used as a communal kitchen and lounge area for the self-catering tents.

The tents share communal toilets and showers. Warm water is heated by a donkey system. Tents are equipped with 2 single beds each. Tent 3 has a double bed.

Caravans
These trusty old campers traveled from afar, arrived at Tankwa Tented Camp and just never left. In exchange for their permanent parking spots, they offer a comfy and somewhat out-of-the-ordinary stay for our guests.

Spykertjie earned his/her name from….. Well depending on you your age you will know from where.

Browny aka Space Cadet will take you on a journey through the milky way (as if the Tankwa doesn’t show off enough stars already).

Camping
Easily one of the best camping experiences you’ll have. Our campsite caters to all different types of campers. Choose from shaded areas to wide-open spaces, camp close to communal areas and ablution blocks, or enjoy the silence of the Tankwa desert with wildly remote camping options such as Camp Climax.
