Fodor's Expert Review Tsendze Rustic Camp Site

Kruger National Park, Mpumalanga, South Africa

This camp is very rustic, with no electricity (personal generators are not allowed) and solar-heated water. It's 7 km (4 miles) south of Mopani Rest Camp. Although the camp itself has some lovely ancient trees, basically it's in the middle of a swath of mopane woodland that doesn't offer much in the way of a variety of game. However, you should see elephants and large herds of buffalo. If you're an ardent camper, you'll enjoy the intimate bush experience, and if you're a birder, you'll be in seventh heaven: look out for the endangered southern ground hornbill. Guests are required to report to Mopani camp for check-in at least an hour before the gate closes.
