About This Property
We think Hartenbos is a clever mix of safari and seaside. The privately owned reserve sits in fynbos hills on the Garden Route, only 15 minutes from Mossel Bay, yet it is home to rhino, buffalo, hippo, giraffe, zebra and, recently, lions.
You stay in a modern glamping tent with a private deck looking across the valleys to the Outeniqua Mountains.
Why We Love It
The tents are spotless and well equipped, with a kitchenette and braai, so you can self-cater or book breakfast and a three-course dinner at the lodge.
Families do well here, with two-bedroom family tents and plenty of animals to spot from the deck.
