We went specimen carp fishing and camping at Zelpy Fishing and Game Reserve (still called Eastco Magalies at the time) with the kids. Zelpy Fishing and Game Resort is a beautiful fishing and game resort situated in the Magaliesburg area. It is an ideal and relaxing getaway for the whole family and the most experienced specimen anglers. The resort offers various facilities including fishing, game drives, shooting range and party venue. This is a special venue in Magaliesburg area and one we plan on visiting a few more times in the future. The stands were spacious, covered and had cement areas to set up on.  The fishing was great and the waterslide a huge hit.  Loved the deer walking through the camp and allowing the kids to feed them.
