Situated in the heart of the sub-tropical Lowveld, Numbi Caravan Park offers campers a safe, secure, and incredibly convenient base from which to explore Mpumalanga’s most spectacular attractions. Located in Hazyview, this lush property is widely recognised as one of the premier stopovers for visitors heading into the wild.
Perfectly positioned for day visits to the world-renowned Kruger National Park, the resort allows you to wake up to the sound of local birdlife, enjoy a morning coffee, and be viewing the Big 5 within minutes. Whether you are a retired couple touring the country or a family seeking an adventurous holiday, Numbi Caravan Park provides the perfect blend of outdoor freedom and hotel-grade comfort.
Camping in Sub-Tropical Gardens
The camping experience at Numbi Caravan Park is defined by its beautiful setting. The park features 24 demarcated grass sites, all situated within sub-tropical gardens under the canopy of large, indigenous trees. These old trees provide welcome shade during the warm Hazyview summers, creating a cool retreat after a long day of sightseeing.
Comfort and convenience are top priorities here. Each campsite is equipped with:
- A standard electrical power point.
- Adequate lighting.
- A rubbish bin kept clean daily.
- A private braai facility (barbecue) for those essential evening campfires.
Campers have access to modern, refurbished ablution facilities that are kept to a high standard of cleanliness. Security is also a major focus; the property is fully fenced with access control and security guards on duty, ensuring a safe and relaxed camping experience for you and your vehicle.
Hotel Facilities for Campers
One of the unique advantages of staying at Numbi Caravan Park is its location within the grounds of the Numbi Hotel. This means that while you enjoy the affordability and nature of camping, you also have access to the amenities of a full-service hotel.
Campers are welcome to take a break from cooking and dine at the on-site restaurants or enjoy a cold drink at the bars. The property features two sparkling swimming pools, providing a refreshing escape from the Lowveld heat. It is a massive 10-hectare property where children can play safely, giving parents peace of mind while they relax by the pool.
The Gateway to Kruger National Park
For wildlife enthusiasts, the location is unbeatable. Numbi Caravan Park is situated just 12 kilometres from the Phabeni Gate and 16 kilometres from the Numbi Gate. This close proximity allows you to be first in line when the gates open, giving you the best chance to spot predators on the prowl in the early morning light.
Phabeni Gate is particularly popular for its modern infrastructure and its route that leads quickly into prime game-viewing areas known for rhino and elephant sightings. After a full day of self-driving, you can be back at your campsite in minutes, ready to light the fire.
Explore the Panorama Route
Beyond the wildlife, Hazyview is the central hub for exploring the breathtaking Panorama Route. A short drive from the caravan park will take you up the escarpment to some of South Africa’s most photographed landmarks:
- God’s Window: Marvel at the endless views over the Lowveld from this viewpoint on the Drakensberg escarpment.
- Blyde River Canyon: Visit the third-largest canyon in the world and the famous Three Rondavels.
- Waterfalls: The area around Sabie is famous for its waterfalls, including the spectacular Mac Mac Falls, Berlin Falls, and Lisbon Falls.
Family Fun and Nearby Attractions
Hazyview is often called the “Adventure Capital” of Mpumalanga. If you are travelling with children, there is no shortage of activities right on your doorstep. When in the area, be sure to visit the Perry’s Bridge Reptile Park to learn about local snakes and crocodiles, or stop by Elephant Whispers for an educational interaction with these gentle giants.
For those interested in conservation, the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre (Cheetah Project) and the Maholoholo Rehabilitation Centre are scenic drives away and offer incredible insight into the rehabilitation of South Africa’s wildlife.
