Shimuwini Bushveld Camp
A SANParks self-catering camp.
Named after the Shangaan word for "Place of the Baobab Tree", Shimuwini camp takes its name from the massive trees which flank the nearby Letaba River, the oldest estimated to be between 2 000 and 3 000 years old. Rebuilt entirely after flooding in the Kruger National Park during 2000, the camp also has a modern finish to set it apart from the average camp experience.
We do not take rest camp bookings. Camps are booked directly with SANParks, where current tariffs are published.

The luxury alternative
If you would rather not self-cater.
We do not take rest camp bookings. What our safari specialists do arrange is the private reserves of the Greater Kruger: private lodges where expert guiding, meals and game drives are included, and nothing is left to the camp kitchen. We look after international travellers and SADC residents alike, and many lodges offer reduced SADC rates.
