6 camping spots in a fenced camp with hot water and electricity under large trees with shade. 4 camping spots on the river bed without electricity and with little shade, but a much better view on landscape, wildlife and the stars at night. Restaurant, bar, pool and wifi, and a panoramic viewpoint over the riverbed and a water trough where the farm's wildlife congregates, including giraffes. The food is only average, unfortunately.
The estate of the List family, one of the most successful businesspeople of the country. Very generous layout that oozes style and wealth. Huge lawn area with pools, outdoor sports fields and old trees. Small car museum, short hiking trails, horse riding, bars, restaurant, billiard, bowling alley, table tennis. Good for parents who can drop their kids somewhere on the premises and enjoy the day. The lodge staff will know where they are and prevent them from doing anything stupid. Popular on Sundays for the lunch buffet, but on weekdays the place is essentially empty.
