Renowned to be the best campsite in Africa! At the entrance of our property the hunters, missionaries, photographers and explorers of yesteryear have been remembered and honoured with a rock wall and genuine refurbished wagon wheel dating back from that period. A stop there to reflect on the past is well worth the time. The varied habitat of the property, riverine/woodlands & acacia scrub, account for a variety of bird species which can be seen & heard. From the grunting hoots of the Giant Eagle Owl, the enchanting shrill call of the Woodland Kingfisher (after whom we're named), to the fluted notes of the elusive Crimson Breasted Shrike! Come with your binoculars! Our sparkling swimming pool is another welcome site on arrival after a long, hot and dusty journey. Unwind and enjoy! Friendly and helpful staff will welcome you on all occasions.

YOU MISSED OUR WINE TASTING EVENT?
Co-hosting with PAINTED WOLF WINES (PWW) from Paarl Western Cape South Africa we had two most successful evenings where we got to taste three different wines in The Den range:-
Pinotage, Cabernet Sauvignon and a Sauvignon Blanc! 🍷🍷🍷
They are VERY GOOD!
The name comes from the "African Wild Dog" also called the "painted wolf"
But did you know that for every bottle of their PWW range the owners, Jeremy & Emma Borg donate 5% to conservation, through either THE ENDANGERED WILDLIFE TRUST or TUSK TRUST or the PAINTED WOLD FOUNDATION.
To date they have raised R2.7 million.
SO WE WERE TASTING WITH A REAL PURPOSE.

Watch out for our next event which we will advertise here.
These events are for all our valued guests who are resident with us for the evening! Don't miss out and book as soon as you see an event happening.

COME & stay with us in the meantime, away from city lights and noise pollution to experience the beauty of nature all around in the tranquility that Woodlands offers and is known for!!

Once you drop down from those lofty heights of aerial shots last week you see folk enjoying life camping -- on the ground!
The crackling of the fires with the rich apetitising smell of meat cooking, the sounds of happy laughter followed by the beautiful sounds of the night with the different owls giving voice to their presence.
Did you miss this experience?
Well, there's still time during the month of August to come and enjoy the crispness of the cold nights and very 'chilly ' mornings!
Start your morning with a coffee and fresh muffin from the reception!

It's a great pleasure & honor to share this beautiful video of the LARGEST BAOBAB tree recorded to date, discovered no less than in the Okavango Delta here in Botswana.
The Mmadinotishi Tree, so named meaning 'the mother of Notishi' , coming from the words Mma meaning mother and Notishi meaning to inform or announce.
Enjoy and comment on this amazing documentary.

A "PEEK" view from a small vantage point --

WHAT AN AMAZING SEASON!
Everything is flourishing and growing.
This committed Red Billed Hornbill is kept very busy feeding a growing family.
They took over the old nesting hole of a Woodland Kingfisher. One of the pair of Kingfishers flew into a glass door last season and killed itself. The spouse was left alone and grieving with no life partner to breed with.
This young HORNBILL family wasted no time in setting up residence and providing us all with lovely bird watching just outside of our Woodlands cottage and Riverview #1 & 2 πŸ¦πŸ¦β€β¬›
