Shindzela Walking Safaris

Shindzela Tented Safari Camp offers guests an old fashioned African wildlife safari, in an unfenced wilderness environment.

Situated in a private concession area of the Timbavati Reserve, and open to the Kruger National Park, Shindzela Walking Safaris offers guests a chance to explore the African bush on foot. The Timbavati Reserve is home to all of the Big Five animals, as well as a host of other mammal and bird species. All walking safaris are led by an armed safari guide, and expert tracker.

The camp hosts a maximum of 12 guests, with accommodation in safari tents, set on wooden decks. Outdoor, shared bathrooms offer showers with hot & cold water and modern flush toilets. Enjoy tasty home-made meals, made from the freshest seasonal produce. Activities centre on walking safaris, but they also include game drives (day & night) in open safari vehicles.

Accommodation

There is no power in camp: instead they use solar power, gas and candles. The camp accommodates just 12 guests, and offers walking safaris, and both day and night game drives in open 4 wheel drive vehicles. The camp has an informal, relaxed atmosphere, and is alive with warm African hospitality.

Shindzela is a simple but comfortable bush camp. Accommodation is in twin bed safari canvas tents, set on wooden platforms. Each tent has a wooden entrance door, adjustable canvas flaps for windows, and mesh to keep insects out. Tents are equipped with a solar light, all bedding, towels and a torch. Separate, shared ablutions are built from reeds, thatch and wood. Each “bathroom” features a shower with running hot and cold water and a modern flush toilet.

Walking Safari

At Shindzela, if you have an interest in walking safaris, you are able to participate in a specialized wildlife walking safari, where you can explore the African wilderness on foot. Our walking safaris are led by armed and experienced walking safari guides. We offer you a true walking safari in a “Big Five” game viewing area.

 All safari activities are conducted in the early mornings and late afternoons. Your safari begins at dawn, and you return to camp mid-morning. Spend the rest of the day relaxing in camp. In the afternoon, depending on the animal movements in the area, your guide may suggest a game drive and short walk, followed by sun downers and a night safari game drive. The safari timetable is generally planned around the movements of the game in the area – this allows flexibility ,and to maximize your safari experience.
