Nestled within the Timbavati Private Game Reserve, Shindzela Tented Camp is an authentic and intimate property with just eight safari style tents under thatch with semi-open en suite facilities and excellent hospitality.
The camp offers a relaxed, informal ambience whilst practising an eco-friendly approach, minimising its footprint by utilising solar power throughout and offering charging in the main area for guest devices.
Surrounded by the bush, the camp’s main area consists of a comfortable open-plan lounge and dining space with views of a dry river bed and small watering hole where wildlife often come to quench their thirst during the heat of the day. A small swimming pool offers an alternative place to relax between game drives, unwinding on a sun lounger whilst listening to the birdsong all around. Dinners are served in an open-air boma where weather permits, and the friendly staff strive to make guests feel at home, doing all they can to ensure an unforgettable safari experience.
Shindzela began as a walking trails camp and staying true to its roots, guests are able to opt to substitute a morning game drive for a morning walking safari with an armed and qualified trails guide at no extra cost. These walks usually last between two and two and a half hours, and provide a different insight into the surrounding ecosystem with more focus on tracks, signs, vegetation and smaller nuances at play, whilst also searching for the big game species.
