Booking for your own child, bringing a school group, or coming along as a family? There are different
camps with different programmes - pick your door.
These are the people your child will be with. Every counsellor is Level 1 First Aid certified, trained in
child psychology and safety protocol, and completes an apprenticeship before qualifying.
Our fully trained counsellor team
The rule we never bend
No two people are ever alone together. Not two children, not a child and a counsellor.
If a camper needs to go back to their cabin, at least two others go with them, one of whom
is their cabin counsellor.
Trained counsellors supervise the children 24 hours a day.
Every counsellor is Level 1 First Aid certified, and trained in child psychology and safety
protocol - then must complete an apprenticeship before qualifying.
Private, gated estate in the Pilanesberg. Controlled access, malaria-free.
Valuables collected and locked on arrival, returned at departure.
Cabins sit under Pilanesberg's native trees, with covered verandas. Each has its own
en-suite bathroom, and counsellors on duty close by through the night.
Cabins are named, not numbered - each has its animal painted on the wall - and
children are placed by age and gender.
Not included in the camp fee: Pilanesberg Big 5 game drive,
Sun City day trip, and transport from Sandton or Lanseria. Each is optional and priced
separately - ask us when you book.
If yours isn't here, WhatsApp us on 083 654 2784 or 064 916 7877. A person answers.
How is supervision handled?
Trained counsellors supervise the children 24 hours a day. Our core safety rule
is that no two people are ever alone together - not two children, and not a child and
a counsellor. If a camper needs to return to their cabin, at least two others go with them.
Every counsellor is Level 1 First Aid certified and completes an apprenticeship before qualifying.
What happens if my child gets sick or hurt?
We have a fully stocked infirmary on site, staffed by Level 3 First Aiders for the
whole camp, and every counsellor is Level 1 First Aid certified. A public hospital is five minutes away and a private hospital about 25 minutes
away - both open 24 hours. Counsellors leading off-property activities carry First Aid kits that are checked and
restocked twice daily.
When are the December 2026 camps and what do they cost?
There are two December 2026 holiday camps: Sunday 6 to Saturday 12 December, and
Saturday 12 to Friday 18 December. Each runs seven days and six nights and costs R6 000 per
child. For school quotes or group rates, WhatsApp us on 083 654 2784 or 064 916 7877 or email
info@campwildside.co.za.
What do you feed them, and can you handle allergies and religious diets?
Three hot meals a day plus a daily tuckshop visit, prepared fresh on site - fresh
salads and freshly baked bread included. We cater for all religious dietary requirements, as well
as vegetarian, vegan and allergy-friendly diets. Tell us the details when you book and we handle
each child individually.
