Shindzela Tented Camp, Kruger National Park

Since its establishment in 2009, Shindzela Tented Safari Camp has grown from a simple walking trails camp into an authentic African wildlife experience nestled in the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve. The property in South Africa's Greater Kruger National Park is about a 1.5-hour drive from Hoedspuit Airport. When you arrive, take in the views overlooking the river, providing excellent opportunities to see the wildlife without stepping off the property. This solar-powered, eco-friendly camp prides itself on its cleanliness and comfort, with past Kimkim guests praising its warm and pleasant staff.

The camp has just about 10 no-frills safari-style tents with thatch roofs, each one providing a taste of the wilderness with the comfort of modern conveniences. While some guests might find the rooms small, multiple windows and high ceilings make them appear larger. Each tent has wood flooring and wood panels in the bathroom and includes two side tables and a bed with a mosquito net. Enjoy your morning coffee and the views of the river and bush from the chairs on your private patio.

Your stay at Shindzela Tented Safari Camp includes daily safari adventures in open 4WD vehicles where you might see animals like elephants, lions, cheetahs, and zebras. During these outings, knowledgeable guides share their wisdom about the big mammals and highlight diverse bird species. Morning walking safaris are also available, where you can learn more about the local fauna and flora you might miss during a game drive. When it's time to relax, you can lounge by the small outdoor pool and discuss your day.
