Enjoy a Remote experience in a tented camp!

The property is in a far apart location from the entrance to the reserve. We were looking for a different stay and the rented camp fit the bill. It was a small oasis amidst the wildlife ! We enjoyed the remoteness and recommend a more than 1 night stay as it does take a long drive once in the property, to get to the camp. The set-up of the camp is very well thought out, and while not “luxurious” it is very comfortable and welcoming. The staff was also great and very attentive to the guests. This is a more intimate experience as there are few tents so few guests at a time. The game drives are also very interesting and purposeful. We were placed in the middle of the “action” and were able to stalk a lion as we walked through the bush at night. Quite a thrilling experience. Not to miss! The platform tents each come with an enclosed bathroom so the set-up is very comfortable.

Nothing- it was lovely!

Good value for money, fantastic ranger and good game viewing.

The food was good but we didn't expect anything exceptional. The rooms were good and the bed very comfortable. Nice shower. The guide, Johan, was exceptional and the game viewing was very good.

They need another vehicle and the one we had definitely needs refurbishing. The back seat had no suspension. So, although the game drives were done very well by Johan, they were not comfortable. The tents are a little close together. The coffee was fine but they gave us Ouma rusks- this I couldn 't believe! Why cut costs this way?

Great drives

The drives were exceptional, the tent is very well built, big bathroom. The meals were very tasteful. The Road is unpaved but if you go very slow you can reach the hotel with a normal car. The staff is very polite and helpful.

You have to charge your cel in the restaurant/common area, not possible to charge in the tent. You have to pay for the soft drinks and juices. Other than that everything is perfect.

The best game rides and the most amazing accomodation!

This was one of the most beautiful places we stayed in while in South Africa. The camp is so peaceful and quiet, with amazingly furnished and immaculate clean tents. Both bedroom and bathroom in the tent looked amazing! We arrived - hours before lunchtime and had such a nice afternoon next to the pool outside - and then an elephant came to drink water just a couple of meters away (the camp is not fenced). The game rides with Sam and Caswell were also the best safari rides, they are so experienced and interesting. We manage to see so many animals so closely, cause they knew how to find them. Sam (the guide) provided us with so much interesting information about the different animals that live in the area. All the meals served at the camp were very delicious, and the host Johan was also super friendly and hopeful. It is by far the best value for money if you want to do amazing game rides and after enjoy a beautiful stay!

Amazing Safari Camp!

We had an excellent time staying at Shindzela! The tents are perfect and the shared spaces relaxing with great views. We loved hearing stories about the animals that have visited the camp. Sam was a great guide in the bush and gave great Information about the plants and animals. The cornbread the amazing! We would definitely return if ever back in Timbavati!
