We know that an African safari is a very special experience – we invite you to join us for a journey of discovery on a wildlife safari. Shindzela is a small wilderness camp, and hosts a maximum of 16 guests. We focus on game drives in open 4x4 vehicles (day & night drives), and walking safaris. Our bush walks and game drive safaris place an emphasis on understanding the wild environment, and tracking and viewing animals in their natural surroundings. We are able to drive off road in search of African predators and Big Five animals.
Situated in the Timbavati Nature Reserve, and part of the Greater Kruger National Park, Shindzela Tented Safari Camp offers a back to basics, affordable Kruger safari holiday, without compromising on important safari experiences; the thrill of viewing African wildlife, marvelling at a beautiful sunset, or relaxing around the camp fire with a drink.
Join us on safari at Shindzela Tented Safari Camp in the Timbavati Private Game Reserve, part of the greater Kruger National Park.
The camp has no power – it runs on solar energy. We are undisturbed by modern conveniences such as television and cell phones, preferring to immerse ourselves in the African wilderness.
Shindzela provides guests with a true safari experience in a private game reserve – an ideal way to make the most of your Kruger safari holiday.
Shindzela is your home whilst on your safari – we pride ourselves on offering a relaxed, informal atmosphere; a trademark of genuine South African hospitality. We do have a swimming pool in camp, and the camp overlooks a waterhole, from where you can watch animals come down to drink – particularly in the drier months of the year.

Timbavati Reserve
We’re wild about the Timbavati – part of the Kruger where animals have the space to move freely…
What Our Guests Say:
– Grant - Chicago…Being in the bush is about the animals, and this camp has animals which come very close for you to observe. At camp we saw many elephants and buffalo… The staff are able to drive off road to approach any animal, providing the most up close and personal experience… Animals come within a ruby field on camp. At 2am one night the camp was woke up by a huge male lion roaring. That is authentic. The next morning we tracked it…
– Brenda & Boris Ferrar, South Africa, Sept 2010Its all about the small stuff…
And so we thought arriving and hearing very little animals were in the area. So we walked and saw the Spiders birds and trees. Then the Lion Kill, Rhino, Buffalo- all of foot. The next day spotted Leopard and Elephants. So basically, saw the BIG 5 and many smalls. As a review, I can only say a Magical tented camp, walking experiences with Guides one can be friends with, and the personal attention is what makes it all worth it. 10/10 for everything.
– BrendaBee – LANo frills, but lots of thrills – a real bush experience….
– Lauren S, UK……The food was delicious and plentiful, and tracking the leopard was one of the most interesting and exciting experiences of our trip to SA. We also found that the camp attracts friendly and easy going guests that also added to the enjoyment……
