About
Jakkals Asem Private Bush Camp is just a stone’s throw away from Pretoria. The Bush Camp is located in a secluded, tranquil bushveld setting in the Malaria free Dinokeng area. The camp is an ideal venue for a quick getaway from busy city life and is the perfect place for a family getaway or for birthday celebrations. We offer self-catering accommodation for up to 16 guests (additional 4 guests in canvas tents on request). Jakkals Asem also boasts 4 beautiful bush campsites. We are pet friendly on request. Jakkals Asem Private Bush Camp is located on the North-Eastern side of the Dinokeng Nature Reserve, between the Reserve and Rust de Winter Dam, approximately 70km North of Pretoria. Dinokeng means “a place of rivers” and the reserve offers a rich abundance of wildlife; it is a birders paradise and is Gauteng’s only free-roaming Big Five reserve. The accommodation is rustic, yet tastefully furnished. The Bush Camp has two units, a “Rondavel” with an ensuite outside bathroom and a “Squaredavel” with a communal bathroom. Each unit can accommodate four guests in a Queen size bed and two single bunk beds. The Bush Camp also has four permanent tents. Each tent can accommodate two guests. The Fish Eagle and Kingfisher tents are close by to one another, perfect for parents to have their young children close by. The Nightjar tent is named after a nocturnal bird which can be heard all year around. The Woodpecker tent is positioned in a secluded area of the camp. The permanent tents are in close proximity to two communal family bathrooms with beautiful outdoor showers. An additional 4 guests can be accommodated in two 3x3m canvas tents with stretchers in (please call us directly for this option). In total the Bush Camp can accommodate 20 guests. All tents and rooms have electricity, fans, hairdryers and USB charging points. The Bush Camp has a fully equipped Lapa for up to 20 guests with a small kitchenette, gas hob, bar fridge, ice machine and indoor & outdoor braai areas. The “Bunker House” situated in close proximity to the Lapa has a Fridge/Freezer, Microwave oven, and washing machine for guests to make use of. The outdoor braai area has a boma area where guests can sit and relax next to a crackling bushveld fire. There is also a separate outdoor “fire-circle” for those late conversations around the fire.
Location
Directions:
From Pretoria / Johannesburg: Take N1 North towards Polokwane. Take Exit 183 from the N1 (Hammanskraal / Boekenhoutskloof) Turn right onto R734 at the top of the off-ramp and cross over the highway. Upon crossing the highway, turn left onto the Rust de Winter road. Stay on the Rust de Winter tar road. Continue through the Dinokeng nature reserve (Tau gate entrance), past Mongena lodge on your left, past Safari mall on your left, past Pride of Africa Nature Reserve also on your left. Eventually, you will come to another boom gate to exit the Dinokeng reserve (Yingwe gate), use the ticket issued at the first boom gate to exit the reserve. Approximately 750m after exiting the reserve boom gate, turn right onto a gravel road (the gravel road is just past the entrance to Maroela Tree Top Lodge), follow the yellow and black signboards to “Jakkals Asem”. Approximately 3.7km down the gravel road, you will come to a split in the road. Turn left at the split, following the “Jakkals Asem” signboard the camp is approximately 1.8km down the road from split on the right. There is a green farm gate shortly after you turn off, if it is locked, please call the Jakkals Asem caretaker to come and open it. Use Gate 1 for the Bushcamp and Gate 2 for the Campsites.
Please Note!
Some mapping applications try and route you through an adjacent farm that is inaccessible. Please ensure that you turn off the tar road at the point described above.
Accessibility:
The farm is accessible by a normal car, however, care should be taken during the wet season when small sections of the gravel road may become muddy. It is advisable to drive slowly and enjoy the scenery and animals. A car with very low ground clearance is not recommended. Please do not speed on the gravel road and be aware of blind corners!
