Who's coming to Kudu?
A bushveld farm shows itself differently to a birder than to a stargazer, differently to a hunter than to a contractor on rotation. Pick yours — the place rearranges itself around you.

Common questions
Everything you're wondering, answered.
no surprises at check-in.
Where exactly is Kudu Rest Camp?
Kudu Rest Camp is on Ostrolenka Farm at approximately -22.38973, 29.39098 (Plus Code 5G9FJ96R+32), between Musina and Alldays in Limpopo.
How close is Mapungubwe National Park?
The SANParks main gate is roughly 20–25 km by road; allow about 30 minutes in normal conditions. Visitor sites inside the park require additional driving. Distances and times are planning estimates from the verified camp pin. Routes, destination gates, road conditions and border queues change, so check live navigation before departure.
How close is the Venetia mine?
Kudu Rest Camp is in the Venetia mining area, but mine access points differ. Confirm the gate or reporting point with your site contact and use live navigation from the camp pin.
What malaria precautions should I take?
Northern low-altitude Limpopo, particularly areas bordering Zimbabwe, is recognised as a malaria-risk area. Risk varies seasonally. Use bite prevention and seek current advice from South African health authorities or a travel-health professional before travelling.
What biodiversity is documented?
Five researchers surveyed the 578 ha property for 14 days from 5–19 February 2026. The preliminary report lists 24 mammals, 94 birds, 10 reptiles, 10 amphibians, 180 invertebrates, 68 wild flowers, 31 trees, 26 grasses and one fungus. Wildlife sightings are not guaranteed.
Why does the website say “more than 440 species” rather than 445?
The preliminary report narrative says 445, while its printed category table sums to 444. The website uses the conservative rounded statement until that discrepancy is clarified.
Do you offer long stays?
Long-stay enquiries are welcome. Ask for a written quote that confirms the accommodation, dates, included services, payment terms and cancellation terms.
How do I book?
Send the dates, number of guests and accommodation needs through the enquiry form, WhatsApp or email. A booking is only confirmed once the camp provides written confirmation and the agreed payment conditions are met.
