The 3 FOPS tents are available to current, paid up members ONLY and on the basis of ONE tent per membership.
(If you have a family membership, you are able to hire 2 tents if children are sharing)
The tents are self-catering, self-serviced safari-style tents, erected on cement slabs situated in the Manyane camp site area in the Pilanesberg Game Reserve.
