Situated just 20 minutes on the East London side of Grahamstown, approximately halfway between Durban and Cape Town, Coombs Camp is an eight bed, tented bush-camp, nestled in amongst secluded Eastern Cape valley-forest. The reserve is teeming with a variety of bird species and small game and is an ideal retreat for nature lovers.
The lodge is set on 80 ha and is stocked with small game. We are not a Big 5 type reserve with lions snapping at your heels, champagne game drives and the like - it's do-it-yourself territory. We are self-catering only, and guests are responsible for all their own cooking and entertainment around the pool and braai.
The comfortably appointed twin bedded luxury safari tents are set in forest thickets, adjacent to the main lodge and pool. All sites have private shower and toilet facilities in canvas-under-thatch units adjacent to the tents.

Reviews for Coombs Camp
"A must when you are in the area"
I am very happy that Coombs Camp was in our holiday planning when we went through South Africa. It was a real adventure. A really stunning place. We got a friendly welcome and the place was very, very, clean. The tents are outstanding; spacious and just so comfortable. The reserve is full of small game, birds and is situated beautifully. We already recommended you to all our friends and family and you get definitely five stars from us.
"Wonderful"
We had the most wonderful one-night stay at Coombs camp. The tents were very comfortable and we had everything we needed. It was peaceful, relaxing and fun exploring for the kids. Jeremy was fantastic and we ate like Kings! The only problem with our stay was that it was only one night!!! Will definitely be returning.
