Our Vehicle
(2 NIGHTS)
Shimuwini is situated in the north between sparse, isolated hills in the west and the Lebombo
mountains in the east. Shimuwini is set in a remote area along the Letaba River with superb river
views.
Shimuwini Camp is in the northern region, the area ranging southward from the Tropic of Capricorn
to the Olifants River. The sparse, isolated hills in the west are rich in pre-historic artefacts, while the
Lebombo Mountains in the east form the natural boundary between Kruger Park, South Africa and
Mozambique.
Riverine communities are formed alongside rivers and cross through many other landscapes. At
Shimuwini Camp in Kruger Park, South Africa, you can be certain you will see many different animals
coming down to drink along the river within view of Shimuwini Camp.
Accommodation is private en-suite units (serviced; fresh linen and towels) that each sleep two
people.
Sirheni Bushveld Lodge (restcamp/northern Kruger)
(4 NIGHTS)
Sirheni Bushveld Camp is located on the edge of the Kruger National Park’s northern plains. Running
past to the Mphongolo River's Sirheni Dam, the camp's accommodation facilities and two bird hides
survey a wide variety of passing game and birds.
Guests may be awakened to the sounds of a lion
making at kill at the dam, and a resident leopard is often seen coming down to drink at the dam.
Accommodation includes private en-suite units under thatch that each sleep two people (serviced;
fresh linen and towels).
Shingwedzi Camp (restcamp/northeastern Kruger)
13 TO 14 JUNE 2025 (1 NIGHT)
Centered in a quiet clearing along the banks of the Shingwedzi river, this eponymous camp provides
a well-balanced Kruger National Park accommodation offering of luxury holiday and authentic,
outdoor camping trip.
Shrouded in mopane trees, the area produces sightings of waterbuck, nyala,
kudu, and elephant, as well as a variety of bird species. While the river does dry up in summer
Departure day
We always fit in an early morning game drive, and of course, a hearty breakfast before departure to
Hoedspruit airport.
