About Shimuwini

Secluded camp on the Shimuwini Dam in the south. Resident-only access roads ensure a peaceful experience.

Shimuwini Bushveld Camp overlooks Shimuwini Dam in the southern bushveld. Like Biyamiti, resident-only access roads keep traffic low. The dam attracts steady wildlife and the camp offers a private, intimate safari base away from the main southern tar roads.
