Five Dinokeng favourites

1. Unplug and relax at Tranquillity Spa Lodge

Ever looked at animals frolicking in a waterhole with a touch of envy? At Tranquillity you can perform the human version: Hop in the pool, park off with your sundowner and watch the wild animals gather at the waterhole across from the swimming pool. There are six luxury chalets, three smaller mini chalets and six campsites, also suitable for caravans. Only the campsite is for self-caterers, other guests eat at the restaurant. Their spa facilities are excellent. tranquillityspalodge.co.za

2. Campers’ paradise at Willem’s Rus
