Shimuwini Bushveld Camp

Top choice in Kruger National Park


This beautiful small camp and bird hide has a picturesque riverine setting, with 15 self-catering cottages staggered on lawns overlooking a wide stretch of the Letaba River. Ask for No 8 (GC5 class), as it was rebuilt after flooding and is the most comfortable and modern.
