Shingwedzi Rest Camp

Kruger National Park


Way up in Kruger's north, tall mopane trees and palms shade this relaxed camp, with a mix of old-style bungalows in circle A and some large, new modern options in circle B (Nos 32 to 35 and 69 to 79 of BD2 class, and Nos 38 to 41 of the BG2 class). Although it's on the Shingwedzi River, only the Tindlovu restaurant (mains R55 to R150) offers views.
