Big Cave Camp

The lodge has been in the Waddy family for three generations, and was purchased by Cyril Waddy in 1947. It is one of the oldest lodges in the area, and has been recently renovated to give the rooms a lovely fresh feel to compliment the spectacular views into the National Park. The lodge is owner managed, and comprises 8 granite under thatch lodges that blend into the natural environment. Each lodge has an ensuite bathroom, stunning views, and an external balcony. Big Cave offers a wide range of activities with qualified guides Shepherd and Tawanda who are experts in their fields. Choose from Rhino Tracking in the National Park, to a range of walks and drives on the Big Cave wilderness area (including spectacular sundowner spots), or choose to visit the incredible San rock art paintings at one of the famous rock art galleries. Visit the grave of Cecil John Rhodes for an amazing historical experience that includes tales of battles fought in the Hills! Big Cave offers a natural rock pool, unique dining facility in the Leopards Lair lounge dining area, and bush breakfasts and dinners upon request. In addition we offer cultural tours to the local school, Ndebele village and traditional healer.
