About This Property
We love Mattanu for its rare antelope. This private reserve near Barkly West, about 50 km from Kimberley, is home to sable, roan and buffalo, and it is malaria-free.
The luxury tents look out over a waterhole, so there is always something to watch.
Why We Love It
The tents are seriously comfortable, with jet-spa baths, air-conditioning and underfloor heating for chilly Karoo nights.
Stays in the main tents include dinner, breakfast and two game drives, and one tent is set up for self-catering.
