Comments, Rules and Notes

  • Articles: SA 4x4 Off Road Adventure, June 2008, p. 38 & Africa Bird & Birding, August/September 2008 vol. 13 no. 4, p. 78 & June/July vol. 14 no. 3, p.80
  • Comments: Golwe campsite is nestled in a beautiful valley under shady vegetation and is home to many unique species of birds, butterflies and orchids. A spring bubbles crystal-clear water in the centre of the campsite and hiking trail lead up to waterfall further up the valley. The site is rural but is more secluded from village life and is an ideal tranquil getaway. Golwe is owned and run by members of the Vhurivhuri community. The area is multifunctional and can also accommodate people who want to have open-air meetings and parties. All proceeds go towards the development of campsite and supporting unemployed people who are willing to help in the campsite. Birding is good in and around the campsite. We have the following specials: African broadbill, P ink- throated twinspot, Scaly-throated Honeyguide and Grey waxbill.
  • Additional Comments: Campsite on communal land
  • Special rules: No loud music or radios allowed, but drumming is allowed on managed time
  • Other: Open meeting area
