Rent a caravan or camper for Polokwane and Limpopo, directly from its owner

No owner has a caravan or camper listed in Polokwane itself at the moment. That is worth saying plainly rather than showing you an empty page: Limpopo's owners are further out, around Tzaneen, Hoedspruit and Modimolle, and the nearest big pool of campers is Pretoria, three hours down the N1. The Limpopo page shows every camper the province has, and the moment an owner lists in Polokwane it appears here too. Plenty of trips start that way in any case: collect in Gauteng, run the N1 north, and Polokwane is where you stock up before the bushveld.

About Polokwane

Read this as trip planning rather than as stock: the campers are elsewhere, and these are the roads once you have one. The R71 east through Tzaneen takes an hour and a half and reaches Kruger's Phalaborwa Gate at about two and a half, which opens Mopani, Shingwedzi and Punda Maria, the camps most people never get to. The N1 north runs through Mokopane and on towards the Limpopo River and the Zimbabwe border, with Mapungubwe about three hours out. West on the R521 you are into the Waterberg and Bela-Bela's hot springs. Magoebaskloof, east of town, is one of the best drives in the province and steep enough to want a low gear with a caravan behind you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the price on Kampi actually cover?
What you pay is the owner's rate for the camper plus Kampi's service fee for handling the booking and the payment. Where a camper carries Kampi cover, that cover costs R89 a day; not every camper carries it, some owners carry their own instead, and the camper's own page says which. There is no once-off admin fee. That was Kampi's pricing before 1 July 2026, and a booking made before that date can still show it. Most owners also add a once-off cleaning fee, and every owner asks for a refundable damage deposit. The camper's own page shows both, and what your dates come to, before you send a request.
How are the rental days counted?
Every day of the trip is charged, including the day you collect the camper and the day you bring it back. A Friday to Sunday trip is three days, not two, because both the collection day and the return day count.
When does the money actually move?
On most campers, nothing is charged when you send a request. You only pay once the owner approves it, and owners have 3 days to answer. A few campers are set up for instant booking instead and charge as soon as you book, the camper's own page says which. Either way, you pay Kampi online, never the owner directly.
Do I need a special licence to tow it?
Not necessarily. Up to 750kg you can tow on an ordinary Code B licence, the same one most drivers already have. Over that you need a Code EB. Every camper's page says which one it needs, and Kampi has a whole page of campers that need no EB at all.
What if I need to cancel, or something goes wrong?
Cancel a request before you have paid and nothing is owed, because nothing was ever charged. Once you have paid, cancelling before the trip starts means a non-refundable booking fee of up to R189 may apply, and the rest is refunded according to the camper's policy. Cancelling once the trip has started, or on a listing with no cancellation policy set, refunds nothing at all: not the rate, not the cleaning fee, not the cover. The camper's own page shows its exact cancellation policy before you book, and it is worth reading before you pay.
Who am I actually renting from?
A private owner, not a franchise or a depot. Sending a request opens a message thread with them under their name, so you can talk before you pay anything. Their phone number and the exact pickup address open up once you have paid, not at the moment they approve. You collect the camper from them in person. Most owners have had an ID document, proof of address and the camper's papers approved by Kampi before their listing went live, though not every one of them has. There is no corporate credit or background check beyond that. What else stands behind them is the reviews they have earned on Kampi.
Can I collect a camper in Polokwane?
Not at the moment: no owner has one listed in Polokwane itself. Limpopo's owners are around Tzaneen, Hoedspruit and Modimolle, and the nearest large pool is Pretoria, three hours down the N1. The Limpopo page shows everything the province has. This page still holds because Polokwane is a good place to be heading for or through, and the moment an owner lists here it appears on it.
Where do I look for a Limpopo camper instead?
Start on the Limpopo page, which carries every live listing in the province rather than only the ones in one town. If nothing there suits your dates, Pretoria is the nearest deep pool and the N1 between the two is a straight, tarred toll road.
Is Polokwane a good base for Kruger trips?
For the northern half of the park, yes. Phalaborwa Gate is about two and a half hours east, and from there Mopani, Shingwedzi and Punda Maria are all within reach: quieter camps, longer drives, far fewer cars at a sighting.
How far is Polokwane from Johannesburg?
About 300km on the N1, so roughly three hours. It is straight, well maintained and tolled, with no mountain pass on it, which makes it easy towing even if it is your first long one.
What is worth seeing near Polokwane?
The Waterberg is an hour and a half west and good for bush camping. Mapungubwe is three hours north. Mokopane is about an hour. East, Tzaneen's tea estates and indigenous forest are an hour and a half out, over the Magoebaskloof pass.
