Dinokeng Resort – Hammanskraal, Gauteng

Since its opening in November 2016, Dinokeng Resort has grown into a beloved holiday destination – a place where memories are made, children roam free, and families reconnect around the braai in the warm glow of the bushveld sunset.

From private ablutions to riverside serenity and adrenaline-pumping slides, Dinokeng is a modern resort with an old-school camping soul. Book your stand or chalet early, pack the fishing rods, and get ready to relax.

Just an hour’s drive from Pretoria and a little more from Johannesburg, Dinokeng Resort offers a perfect balance between peace, play and pristine bushveld. Set within the malaria-free Dinokeng Big 5 Game Reserve, this family-focused resort blends nature, relaxation and adventure into one unforgettable holiday experience.

Camping at Dinokeng is nothing short of a treat. There are 83 camping and caravan stands, all of which come equipped with electricity and water points. You can choose between:
Private ablution sites – neatly paved stands with exclusive-use bathrooms, offering comfort and privacy
Shared ablution sites – available on either grass or pavement, with spotless communal facilities

All stands include a braai area, and the layout offers enough space for the whole family to enjoy the great outdoors without feeling crowded. The Boekenhoutspruit River meanders through the resort, and there’s also a dam for catch-and-release fishing, making it a haven for angling enthusiasts.

If you prefer a more solid roof over your head, there are eight self-catering units on offer. These chalets are fully furnished and equipped with all the basics for a comfortable bushveld escape, complete with private braai facilities and a relaxed, home-away-from-home feel.

Whether you’re visiting with toddlers or teens, Dinokeng Resort keeps everyone happy. Children can race down the brightly coloured supertubes, splash in the unique figure-8 swimming pool, or explore wide open lawns and bushveld paths. The resort is peaceful, secure and built for carefree, family-friendly fun.
