Hotel a Riserva naturale di Timbavati

“What a spectacular place!!! We cannot recommend it highly enough!”

“This is a gorgeous lodge with incredible staff; delicious meals; comfortable and well designed rooms; a very small number of guests to keep the experience intimate; and a once in a lifetime safari opportunity with extremely knowledgeable guides. ”

“Yes”

“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....

“5 stars can’t do it any justice. This place is just amazing. We arrived here with another couple and they enjoyed their stay as well. From beginning to end of the stay everything from staff, accommodation, attention to details, food, game drives, and the sense of community were beyond amazing. It is a quiet place to relax and enjoy nature and the animals in purest form. We have no complaints! We are already planning the next trip! We’ve traveled all over and this place tops them all! Thank you...

“Posto eccezionale. Durante i safari abbiamo visto tutti gli animali possibili: elefanti, giraffe, iene, leoni, rinoceronti, zebre, leopardi, bufali, ... miti e da pochissimi metri di distanza. L'hotel è veramente confortevole. Servizio estremamente cortese.”

“Only stayed one night coming back from our stay in Kruger but as soon as we got there we realised we should have booked for two. There are loads of things to do in the area that we were interested in and on site there were walks we could have taken surrounded by nature. The location is beautiful and even just outside the bedroom you see deer and a warthog or two. Marlon was a great host and very knowledgeable and the room was luxurious as was the bathroom that also had a choice of inside and...

“It was a pleasant stay, everyone was friendly and helpful”

“Wir hatten das Superior Zimmer, das ist ein kleines Häuschen neben dem Haupthaus. Es ist ein super schönes Zimmer. Es gibt sogar neben einer Badewanne, eine Innen- und eine Aussendusche. Die Anlage ist sehr schön und ruhig, der Pool herrlich. Man kann schon vom Frühstückstisch aus Tiere beobachten. Die Lodge befindet sich innerhalb des eingezäunten Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate, so dass man dort seine eigene kleine Safari machen kann. Alles ist super sauber, das Personal ist sehr freundlich und das...

“Absolutely amazing, only stayed one night whilst visiting family and the staff and family are lovely. Food is amazing and plenty of it. Had a hyena and a giraffe outside our rooms during the night!”

“The lodge is perfect for a stay in Hoedspruit; with an easy drive to Kruger Park. The wildlife come to within meters of the garden which makes for exciting and interesting viewing from your patio. The hosts Sue and Deon will do everything they can to make your stay wonderful. Would definitely recommend. ”

“Cannot find a single fault …. Excellent comms. Great location. Superb food. Lovely room. Comfy bed. Gorgeous shower. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to stay again and recommend to others”

“Alles super, vor allem Die Hosts, Ruan und seine Frau sind absolut super! Sehr liebevoll, authentisch und geben super tips. Wirklich kein einziger Wunsch blieb unerfüllt. Gerne wieder🍀”

“E' recintato con password di accesso, questo è positivo, e dentro la riserva dove si trova la struttura ci sono diversi animali come: giraffe, zebre, impala, babbuini, ecc, la mattina di danno il buongiorno. Ci sono solo quattro lodge più la cucina ben arredata. Alla struttura non manca niente, ma ha bisogno sicuramente di una ristrutturazione oppure di una cura migliore degli spazi, specialmente interni delle camere, più cura nei dettagli, fra i quali il tetto in paglia, perché cadono...

“Good place and well kept. ”

“Great lodge run by great people. Saw the big 5 in just one morning! The wildlife tours where exciting. The food was over the top!”

“Super herzlicher Empfang durch Annie. Obwohl kein vegetarisches Essen vorbestellt war, wurde ganz spontan ein sehr leckeres Gericht für meine Tochter und mich gezaubert. Service total nett. Unser Familienzelt war riesig und toll eingerichtet. Mit Outdoor Dusche! Würde jederzeit wieder hinfahren! Wegweiser / Beschilderung an der Hauptstraße fehlen. Einzigstes Manko”

“This is the most relaxing lodge! I came for a weekend retreat and loved every minute. I was able sit in my own little plunge pool and watch the animals come to the water hole. The staff were all very friendly and inviting. I 100% recommend this place ”

“The place is lovely and me and my lady enjoyed it. The only issue I had was the bed, it was not that comfortable, same goes to the pillows, they where big. Oh and board needs some attention because when you walk inside the tent your partner got to wake up because they squicky. But nevertheless I enjoyed it, even proposed and she said yes”
