Shingwedzi Camp

Shingwedzi Rest Camp lies in the northern part of the park in the heart of mopane country, overlooking the Shingwedzi River. A scenic game drive along the Shingwedzi River in a south-easterly direction towards the Kanniedood Dam is one of the most rewarding drives in the park.

Staying overnight at Shingwedzi is an experience that will last a lifetime. It is a rustic camp that still carries the essence of the bush and is untouched by modern technology.

Accommodation at Shingwedzi Rest Camp is arranged in two separate circles, offering camping, huts, two- and three-sleeper units, cottages and a guest house to choose from.
