Mbotyi Campsite

The Wild Coast


Mbotyi Campsite, a joint venture between the neighbouring Mbotyi River Lodge and the local community, is the place for total relaxation and long walks on the beach. It has rondavels (round huts with conical roofs) and plenty of grassy, shady areas for campers. You’ll need to be self-sufficient with food.
