About Southern Camping - Outdoor Adventures

Our Story

Founded in 1998, Southern Camping has been connecting people with the best outdoor adventures across Southern Africa for over 25 years. Our mission is to provide detailed campsite information, local guides, and expert tips to make your experience safe, fun, and unforgettable.

How Our Data Works

Our campsite database currently covers 1,777+ active campsites across 8 Southern African countries — South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Zambia, Lesotho, and Eswatini. Every listing includes GPS coordinates, contact details (phone, email, and website where available), and a curated list of nearby attractions with Google ratings and distances, giving you a complete picture of each destination before you book.

Data is sourced through direct operator contact, field research, and verified third-party databases. Listings are reviewed and updated on a rolling basis — if you find outdated information or want to submit a new campsite, please get in touch.

Our nearby attractions data is one of the most comprehensive features on the site — each campsite page shows rated points of interest within driving distance, from game reserves and waterfalls to adventure outfitters and heritage sites, all with accurate GPS-calculated distances.
