Dried up Marula Oase.
We were booked from 31 Dec to 4 Jan. Upon our arrival the security guard was too lazy and refused to open both gates. We needed to squeeze thru the one narrow opening. We should have known then that this place is not the friendliest and most accommodating to visitors. Proofed again at the reception. Very unfriendly, unhelpful and bombastic. Insisted on payment of the balance before entry. Roads to the camp washed away and signs non existent or old and small. Then the camp: my word! Dry grass, over crowded with campers everywhere spilling over onto neighbouring stands disregarding privacy. We drove thru this mayhem and found our allocated stand but realised we won't fit in there and turned around. I was not up to facing that reception again and drove straight out to Dinokeng. I posted our experience on my FB page and kampoholics - also on FB. Later the owner, Danie, also not the friendliest person around, called me to complain about my FB postings saying I should have contacted him first before doing so and giving him a chance to react. We agreed that I will post an apology and he would refund my money. I did as agreed but he never kept his word. He never returned my calls and never refunded me as agreed. I will forever tell everybody about this bad experience but mainly about the owner who is without any integrity and who cannot keep his word.
