How long should we stay?

In order to have the most fulfilling experience at Isambane Camp, we would recommend a minimum of 3 nights stay, enabling you to enjoy your safari in a leisurely manner. However, we also offer other offsite activities such as birding expeditions in Lekgalameetse, day trips to Kruger National Park, boat cruises along the Olifants River and panorama tours. We work alongside Lowveld Trails to provide a unique immersive walking experience, offering the best of both worlds.

What is the weather like?

The average rainfall for the year is 350mm, with most rainfall occurring during mid-summer (November – February). The rainfall generally occurs in the form of short, intense thunderstorms, which very seldom lasts longer than a few hours. The average maximum temperatures range from 24°C in July to 34°C in January with the average monthly minimum occurring in July at a temperature of 8°C.
