On a recent trip to the Northwest Province I found a delightful private reserve called the Mountain Sanctuary Park.
The scenery is stunning and there are some nice walking trails.
Birding looks as though it could be pretty interesting, with many photo opportunities available from the camp area alone- see photos below.
The park offers chalets, log cabins and camping, all located in the same area. The campsite does have electricity. Prices are very comparable to those at Mkhuze.
This has alot of potential for a club 'weekend away', so watch this space.

And the bird photos taken rather hastily at the camp, so given more time.
