Weekend solo camping in the African bush | Kyleu Bush Camp | Dinokeng Game Reserve | South Africa

I recently spent a weekend solo camping at Kyleu Bush Camp, situated inside the Dinokeng Game reserve in South Africa.

Dinokeng Game Reserve is a big 5 game reserve boasting lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino as well as other game such as antelope, giraffe, zebra to name a few. There is a craft brewery as well as other restaurants and accommodation options in the reserve. It is situated about 100 KM north of Johannesburg, near Hammanskraal, in the Gauteng province. The roads are good, and the game reserve is easily found using Waze, Google, or Apple Maps.

Kyleu Bush Camp is an off-grid camp site featuring both fenced and unfenced camp sites for a true bush camping experience. All stands have their own private ablution with flushing toilet and shower. There is also a washing-up basin for dishes. Heated water is provided by a gas boiler and the roof of the ablution is elevated, allowing awesome views of the surrounding bush whilst taking a hot shower. Stands are equipped with a fire pit and a braai. You also receive a free bag of wood for each night booked, and additional wood is available to purchase at R25.00 per bag. The ablutions are cleaned and serviced daily.

My vehicle is a Ford Ranger Wildtrak (Thunder Edition) 2.0l bi-turbo diesel, fitted with a Front Runner Slimline II rack over the load bed, a Front Runner SlimSport rack on the roof, and a Front Runner roof top tent. I have a custom drawer system, supplied by Dusk Overlanding.

For off-grid power I use a National Luna DC25 power pack fitted with a 100 AH deep cycle battery. The DC25 is wired directly to the vehicle for charging whilst driving, and uses a Jackery 100w solar panel for charging whilst in camp. I have a Dometic CFX 35 litre fridge, which runs off the National Luna DC25. I also have a Jackery 200w Solar Power Station for charging smaller items such as cellphones, camera batteries etc.

I use the following photographic equipment to shoot my content:

Canon EOS R mirrorless camera

Canon RF 14-35 F4 L series lens
Sigma 150-600 F5-6.3 Contemporary lens
GoPro Hero 11 Black
GoPro Hero 7 Black
GoPro Session 4
Apple iPhone 14 Pro

Great content, i like your setup, i am looking to get a wildtrak soon

[Mallo_Nair]

Great video. Camp looked so quite and peaceful. Did you perhaps hear any noise from the local nearby villages at night?

[cliveroberts]

Thank you for the content. I'm in the market for a Ford Ranger and I like the tub rack with the rooftop tent on it. But now you use the Medallion Trailer.

How easy is it to remove the tub rack to have a normal bakkie during the week and why did you go for a trailer? Is to have more capacity?

You definitely need a camping mate bro….let’s go Namibian sometime next year…but our women 😂😂😂

Hi is the Jakery keeping your fridge on?

[gordenmohlala]

How about a new camping club. Give each other tips on how to spec our cars for off road and stuff.

As a novice person on overlanding, what is the significance of climbing over a recovery traction board overnight.

Why do you want to do all that alone? If you don't have a wife why don't you adopt a couple of boys from foster care and have your own family
