Maleme Rest Camp

Matobo National Park


Set around boulders and candelabra cacti, this national park's accommodation offers the best option for budget travellers. While a bit on the shabby side, lodges come with kitchens and bathrooms, while camping is down near the dam. There's no restaurant, but it has a kiosk with basic items.
