About This Property

We love Agama for its setting among the granite koppies of Namaqualand, 20 km north of Garies just off the N7. It is a peaceful stop on the road between Cape Town and Namibia, and a beautiful base for the spring flowers.

There is no electricity in the tents, so evenings are lit by lanterns and stars.

Why We Love It

The tents feel proper bush camp, with rustic en-suite bathrooms and gas heaters for cold desert nights.

Dinner and breakfast are cooked for you, and the pool and cash bar make a hot afternoon pass easily.
