The place is so fantastic, quiet and clean. The staff are so helpful and communicate well with customers. In future, I would like to book for my family and friends to come and have fun at the De Wildt 4X4. Really, I did enjoy and my wife loves the place.

Awesome, friendly staff, Covid19 compliant. This was my first and best camp ever. Even my fellow campers were friendly. The monkeys waved at us as we were hiking. A home away from home.

Price per night for a 2x2 m tent with only 2 single beds and no electricity is a bit bad. Normally we get an email that explains everything. In this case there was nothing. Fortunately, we happened to have brought in towels, cutlery, cups and flashlights, otherwise we would have been totally in the dark. The price per night was literally only for 2 single beds in a 2x2 m tent. This tent option is definitely not worth the money. I could have taken my own, bigger tent and then it only cost R280 per night.

Very pleasant and peaceful. It was the very first time we booked a place through the website, don't regret it for one moment. I would definitely recommend De Wildt 4x4 to anyone to go, they went out of their way every day to clean around us and our braai facilities. For anyone who likes woodland, De Wildt is definitely the place to go. Fantastic service they provide there.

The accommodation is not value for money. We were so disappointed with the accommodation. For R 850 per night, I expected more than an outside shower and a bed to sleep on. It was a self-catering unit with no facilities to self-cater. There was one small table in the unit with two plates, two glasses, to sherry glasses, and two mugs. The plates and mugs were steel which felt so cheap. Furthermore, there was no place to prepare food on, the kettle was a gas kettle, there were pots and pans but there was no gas facility to use the kettle on. When we wanted coffee we called reception and asked them if they could bring us an electric kettle so that we could at least warm water because starting a campfire to boil a kettle was ridiculous. Then the outside showers warm water was not working, we had to ask them to come and assist in getting the hot water on because it is winter so no, a cold shower outside is not ideal. The worker explained to us that the switch on the geyser was loose and that you had to first press the broken lid of the switch to the geyser unit before the geyser would kick on to make the water hot. They had an alarm system which is one of those make-belief systems to scare away intruders with noise rather than warning the receptions or owners that there was something wrong at one of the cabins. The one speaker was malfunctioning and would not go off when we pressed the button, it kept making noise so we literally took out the batteries. Nobody even came to check why the alarm had made a noise or was disabled. That is when we realised that there was no actual security for our belongings in the cabin. In the whole cabin, there was one light. There was no light outside on the balcony and the light in the cabin could also not be moved closer to the balcony to provide light. We sat in the dark on the balcony and guessed where our food was on the plates, the alternative to eating was sitting inside on the bed as there is no sitting area in the cabin. You also have to park the car quite a distance from the cabin we were staying in which meant that gaining access to the vehicle when leaving was quite a walk, and when we got there the receptionist looked at our car and she made the comment that she was not quite sure if our vehicle would be able to drive the terrain to the parking space. Nowhere was it indicated that smaller cars are not ideal to get to the cabins. Overall, they will never see us again. We were grossly overcharged for the facilities we got, their website is misrepresenting regarding what is included in the cabin.

De Wildt 4x4

Chantal, I would like to refer you to the general description of our institution. De Wildt 4x4 is an "overland", on tour in the forest theme. There was no intention to make it look like your every "bed and breakfast" at all. Everything in the units is supposed to be forest-related, like enjoying a romantic cup of coffee on a gas stove in earthen mugs. We have 2 guards patrolling the site, the electric fence around the site is connected to a main alarm. The small buzz alarm system in the cabin is only there for when the blue monkeys enter the cabin. But after this, I'm still sorry that you didn't enjoy the time you spent with us.
