Lulu’s Camp

Lulu’s Camp

Lulu’s Camp is situated on the banks of the Mogalakwena River, amid sweeping lawns under tall shady trees. It has 5 campsites for tents or small caravans. It is secure, inside the locked, electrified, perimeter fence of Makulu Makete Wildlife Reserve. It is the perfect stopover for tours to Botswana via the picturesque Platjan border post on the Limpopo River, about 30 minutes drive from the camp. Mapungubwe World Heritage Site and National Park is an hour’s drive away.

Facilities include:

  • clean ablutions with hot water, showers and flushing toilets
  • a communal kitchen area and lapa
  • power available (please bring your own long extension cord)
  • safe drinking water
  • large swimming pool overlooking the Mogalakwena River
  • firewood available for purchase


  • The camp is a favourite haunt of bushbuck and waterbuck, as well as fish eagles, the Goliath Heron and other riverine bird species. Leopards are occasionally sighted, but because we do not have the rest of the Big 5, guests are free to walk or drive through the 4,600 hectare Makulu Makete Wildlife Reserve. You will be given a map of the reserve when you arrive. Then it’s up to you to explore at your own pace.

    This is a conservation area, so no hunting, no shooting, no firearms, no pets. Catch and release fishing in the river is allowed.

    Tariff: R100 per adult per night (including VAT). Children 13-16 years R50 per night. Regrettably, children 12 years and under are not permitted for safety reasons.

    Advance bookings are essential. Call us on +27 82 903 8697 or email to pgr@worldonline.co.za

    Please note: The gates of the reserve are all locked because of our free-roaming cheetahs and there is no cell-phone reception at the gates to alert us that you are outside. It is therefore not possible to arrive at the reserve without making a booking in advance. GPS co-ordinates for the gate are: S22°33.37’ E28°53.25’
