Sweeping views across the rolling hills and valleys are highlighted by glistening, mirror-still dams and bright African skies. Wildlife abounds and birdsong provides the perfect soundtrack to the idyllic escape back into the heart of nature. Situated near Carolina, Mpumalanga, along the Swartspruit River, Doornkop is a place which celebrates the spirit of "Creating the Environment for Everlasting Holiday Memories" and a zest for the natural world.
The activities at Doornkop integrate with nature, extending both thrills and tranquillity the whole family will enjoy.
Romanticism is not lost on Doornkops’ self-catering, thatch chalets; each stylish chalet offers every homely comfort and is well-equipped for a comfortable breakaway. The accommodation at Doornkop Fish and Wildlife Reserve was designed with the family experience in mind, affording ample space indoors to cosy up around the fireplace and a private patio outdoors from which to soak up the sunshine and blissful views.
It is all about waking up to birdsong and ambling onto the patio for a scrumptious breakfast, while admiring the deep verdant green surrounds. It is in the sound of silence along a dam, broken only by a fly breaking through the glass of the water’s surface. It is in cosy evenings spent around the outdoor braai, with family pulled close, as the crickets chirp and the sky lulls to sleep.
Our visit to Doornkop Fish and Wildlife Reserve was everything and more! The views from our bedrooms were spectacular, and the sound of water from the river in the mornings and evenings was amazing. We tried identifying the birds and animals from the balcony area while enjoying coffee and chatting. The fireplace made our conversations and lounging very cosy. Our hike was a bit of a challenge, however, the waterfall was a great reward. We are currently planning our summer visit.
