Ici il y a une atmosphère spéciale où vous contemplez la nature et ses beautés. Les lodges sont bien équipés tout en restant dans un esprit safari. J'adore ! Tout le personnel est très sympathique et la nourriture locale très très bonne. Merci à Sam notre guide qui mangeait tous les soirs avec nous. En plus d'être un guide, c'est avant tout un Traqueur à la recherche de la moindre trace. Grâce à Sam, nous n'avons pas tardé à découvrir les Big Five Une expérience unique et notre coup de cœur de ce séjour de 2 semaines en Afrique du Sud.

Shindzela Camp is an excellent, good-value safari option for Greater Kruger for those who do not seek absolute luxury. The camp is in the heart of the bush in the Timbavati Reserve, about a 1.5 hour drive from the main gate entrance (wihch itself is only 20 minutes drive from Hoedspruit Airport). The tents are contained within solid wooden structures, so give a good feeling of being in the wild but still completely safe and comfortable. Meals were excellent and well-organised. Best of all, the game drives were amazing! They were extremely well led by the guide and his tracker buddy. We saw all the big five, including a pair of leopards mating! The pool is very small but guests do not come here to swim. There are no power sockets in the rooms, but there are dedicated power sockets for each room at reception (essential for charging phones, etc.).

We are repeat guests to this lovely, small tented camp with bathrooms ensuite. Great food. Nice bar service. Relaxed atmosphere. Cute little swimming pool and the social area has a perfect view of the water hole - so much game passes there. All staff are friendly and helpful. Really lovely camp to relax in and superb game drives. We highly recommend Shindzela Tented camp in the Timbavati Reserve.

We stayed 4 nights in mid August and everything from the very comfortable accommodation , to the food and the service , and the intimate african bush atmosphere was excellent . The game drives gave us very special and close-up wildlife sightings in an area where there was few other vehicles . In 4 days we saw several sightings of different groups of white Rhino , 3 male Lions , at least 2 different packs of Wild Dogs , and a Leopard directly above us in a tree as well as many herds of elephant which frequently visited the water station overlooked by Shindzela . This is a very special place

Shindzela is a more affordable bush camp in the Timbavati Game Reserve. Great value for money, their concession has a lot of wildlife. The camp is not so big, they go out with 2 vehicles. Which were never full during our stay. Dinner next to the fire, nothing to complain here food was good. You go to Shindzela when your main focus is doing game drives. There is also a pool.

Het was het totaalplaatje wat helemaal klopte. Ontzettend gepassioneerde, gezellige mensen. Ze konden veel vertellen en zorgden ervoor dat je op je gemak voelde. De 4x game drives die we deden waren goed. Ze driver en tracker gingen op zoek naar het niet standaard. Dus leeuwen die een baby giraf aan het eten waren en een Leopard. Al met al een bijzondere ervaring die we echt iedereen aanraden!

Geweldige ervaring. Dagelijks 2 gamedrives begeleid door ervaren en gepassioneerde rangers en trackers. Heel anders dan de commerciële safaris in het kruger park. Het eten, tenten, algemene service: 10. Knus, 8 tenten, samen eten bij 't kampvuur. Al met al iets waar we zeker nog een keer naar terug zouden gaan.

Just go! The camp was lovely, the game drives were great, food was excellent and staff was amazing - shout out to Ruben, Oxide and Lorna. We saw the big five on the first 3 drives as well as cheetahs. Don’t sell yourself short - stay for at least 3 days. Unless you feel strongly you need some over the top luxury camp, then this is the spot for you. My guess is the camp might get a little warm in hot weather but it was perfect when we were there
