Wonderful place, Rangers, trackers and staff. Excellent food in terms of quality and choice and lovely wines / beers. Loved every minute and would love to return again. Been to other ( more expensive) camps in the area and this one is much more relaxed and enjoyable.

I'm sure there are more luxurious lodges but this place is more than luxurious enough for 'normal' travellers. Most importantly all the rooms have aircon that works! All the staff were super friendly and service and food was top notch. Dean was a brilliant Ranger, really knowledgeable, and very entertaining and a big thanks to Dani as well for looking after us. We will be recommending Xanatseni to all our friends.

Shindzela offers the type of safari experience that is sadly dying out, to be replaced by glitzy, costly options that separate visitors from the real bush.
Our guide was excellent; calm & professional even when another group was shrieking and whooping (TIP, wild animals prefer quiet).
Our tracker was keen-eyed, polite and focussed.
The cooking/cleaning staff clearly took pride in their work.
I feel Shindzela is excellent value for money and should form a part of many more travellers' trips....

WOW! What a fantastic experience. This is a small slice of Paradise in the African bush near Kruger National Park. The setting is absolutely perfect and there are only 4 chalets so it is exceptionally exclusive and very special.
Mette & Michael were fantastic hosts, always available if you needed, always happy to take you out on a Game drive (we saw a huge amount of wild life VERY up close and personal - there was an elephant drinking from the swimming pool one day!! - and one evening we were...

Beautiful property in a great location, just a stone throw away from Kruger National Park. Having your own private outdoor space was an unexpected bonus too. Hosts were very welcoming and provided a lovely breakfast. Would definitely recommend and stay again :)

We were extremely satisfied with our house and at a super rate. The restaurant was also serving nicely priced and good quality meals and the reception staff was very helpful

We were given a choice of room upon arrival, the room was small, as we expected for a budget room but it was spotlessly clean with true african character and much appreciated extra touches, like having real milk in the fridge for our coffee instead of that powdered rubbish. There was a ping pong table and a pool, we were given advice on the local area from the owner including suggestions of which area of Kruger we should head to. Kruger Phalaborwa gate is just a couple of miles away so it was...
