Evergreen River Guest Farm is a privately owned farm self-catering and tenting/caravan establishment Gaborone is an approximate 2 hrs drive from Evergreen.

Evergreen River Guest Farm is a privately owned farm situated on the banks of the Groot Marico River, approximately 9 kms outside of Groot Marico (7km dirt road stretch). We are a comfortable 2 - 2,5 hrs drive from Johannesburg on the N4 Platinum Highway in the North West, between Rustenburg (90 kms) and Zeerust (48 kms). We are a self catering establishment but there are 3 restaurants within a 12 km radius from the farm. Accommodation comprises of 3 comfortable cottages, namely “Rain Lily”, “Le Butterfly” and “Star Gazer”. Karee River Camp is a camping site for offroad caravanning/tenting. Bring your own mountain/quad bikes and enjoy riding all the dirt roads in the area and surrounds. Come hike (game can be spotted on hikes in the area), swim, fish, picnic, star gaze, read, walk, pick citrus in the orchard (when in season), feed the poultry, feed the sheep, or just chill! We have 200 indigenous tree species in Groot Marico and the 2nd most bird species in S.A. We also have 7 different eco systems and are part of the Marico Biosphere. Bring your own tubes and lilo’s to enjoy the Groot Marico River that runs through the farm – and your own fishing rods to catch yellow fish, barbell and bass. The crystal clear and pristine Marico Eye (17 m deep) is 30kms away from us. Bring your scuba/snorkelling gear and maybe spend a day braaing/picnicing at the Eye. There is a substantial amount to be seen and done in and around Groot Marico and we will gladly assist with information on these activities. Our website address is www.evergreenguestfarm

Thula Tented Camp Constuction Update

So :

The cement slab is laid
French drain dug
Septic tank dug
Structure poles erected
And today, starting with the roof sheeting

So getting there... Watch this space!

And ever so proud of my hubby, Rob, for all the planning firstly, getting all the building materials and now starting the really hard work of getting it all up and running. I take my hat off to Rob - from retired Helicopter Engineer - to Mr Have To Do It ALL on the farm - damn he is just amazing 🫂

As per previous posts, still a LOT to get done before our first booking on 5/12

Hope you enjoy the updates...

So, our first construction update on our new campsite, "Thula Glamping Tent"

The foundation is coming on nicely and hopefully we will have a cemented floor area by coming Friday

Imagine a large, private, off the grid camping spot surrounded by all these trees and Mother Nature.

So this private spot will have :

A "glamping" tent under cover;
Shower, toilet and kitchen area under cover;
Undercover braai area; and
An additional surprise or two as we go along

We hope to complete this project by 1/12/26 and already have a booking for 5-7/12/26 so super excited to get this up and running 🏃‍♀️ 🙌

And so our new project starts today...

Rob on the tractor starting to clear the new camping area for our new tented glamping site (only 1 glamping tent).

Tharina, our daughter, chose the name "The Thula Glamping Tent". "THULA" is a Zulu word and the reason she chose it is because it means :

Be at peace
Rest peacefully
Find quiet and tranquility
Be calm - there is no need to fear

It is our every intention to have our new project up and running by 1 December, 2026 - so follow us to see the progress during construction.

Some of the features :
Permanently erected tent under cover
Private kitchenette, toilet, shower and undercover braai area
Private cold water bath tub to cool down in
And......

So naturally we are super excited and cannot wait to have our 3rd camping site open for bookings commencing 1 December 2026.

Be safe out there....

Our 3 cottages (Firefly, Le Butterfly and Star Gazer) are fully booked - each has its own private natural rock splash pool, fully equipped with everything needed, undercover braai areas, outdoor showers, etc.

Each of these are undercover with a private kitchen area, private toilet, private shower, private undercover braai and within 40m of the Groot Marico River that flows through the farm.

We are busy with a 3rd private "glamping" camp site that will have a permanent tent set up with beds, etc - so watch this space as we will post updates while under construction and it will be ready by 1 December 2026.

Wherever you are, enjoy, have fun and be safe.
