We recently visited the Kruger and found ourselves in Shingwedsi Restaurant. After working our way down from the north of Kruger (where NONE of the ATMs were working) we had no cash and no way to pay by card as the machines were not working. Thanks to the outstanding kindness of a staff member of the restaurant there, Joshua Maluleke,... More

Our first visit to Shingwedzi. The facilities are perahps a bit dated, but the chalet was nice, clean and comfortable. There is a very large and nice pool next to the campsite - enjoyed the swim. We went on a sunset game-drive and were most fortunate in that the two of us were the only tourists on the drive and... More

We stayed here for two nights in August. We loved the camp, saw lots of wildlife and had a great sunset drive. The restaurant was ok and the staff most friendly, however, the one night we had a takeaway it was the worst meal I have ever seen and when we went back to complain we were met with absolute... More

We stayed in a five-bed cottage. Three beds on the ground floor, two beds in the loft. Large bathroom and an outside kitchen with enough utensils. Basic, but well maintained and clean. Around the cottage we saw many monkeys and bold birds who wanted to steal our food. The scenery around the restcamp is beautiful and serene. We had read... More

Shingwedzi was the most northern camp we stayed in, for one night. We had a bungalow on the perimeter. It was slightly more dated than Mopani which we had stayed in the night before. The kitchen was a bit tired, and I have to say the hotplate looked like it could burn the bungalow down at any time, there was... More

This camp was more than reasonable for the money we spent, but I agree with some other reviewers that it is not on par with other SANPARKs resorts / camps. However, I woudl not let this put you off staying here - just manage your expectations accordingly. It is situated in a lovely part of northern kruger and the area... More

I stayed in a Hut for 2 nights, the cheapest level of accommodation, and this had NO unrealistic expectations. However a dirty and sticky floor just disgusts me, so I cleaned it with a spare towel which was originally brown to start then black to finish.outside seemed clean initially, but then a slightly closer inspection revealed the hundreds of cigarette...

This park is sufficient if you need a tidy kept place to stay over at. Rooms were tidy and well kept. No green grass outside. Mopanie trees provide shade. The swimming pool is still kept but age is starting to show. Main reception area is clean. The smell of bat dung is very evident when under the thatch roof.

We stayed in a clean, spacious and functional chalet with a much appreciated double bed. We were able to eat outside in the retaurant overlooking a floodlit waterhole (dry when we were there). The food was fine and they were able to customise a veggie option for us (jacket potato). Not the height of luxury but recommended as a base... More
