The Welgevonden sister lodges of Shidzidzi and Nungubane are a mere 5 minutes apart by Land Rover.

The two camps each have 5 luxury chalets, and can accommodate a combined total of 20 guests, ensuring both personal and exceptional service.
Bathrooms are en-suite and each chalet has the additional feature of an open-air shower to add to the thrill of your experience in the African bush. For your convenience all chalets are fitted with ceiling fans, and have tea and coffee making facilities, hairdryers and bathroom amenities.
