Tsendze Rustic Camp Site

Tsendze Rustic Camp Site Review

As its name suggests, this new camp is very rustic with no electricity (personal generators are not allowed) and solar-heated warm, not hot, water. It's 7 km (4 mi) 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, and what game there is, is difficult to see. However, you should see elephants (often on the tarred road between Tsendze and Mopani) and large herds of buffalo. The area is reputed to be the home turf for some of Kruger's big tuskers. 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 because what the area lacks in game it makes up for in birds—look out for the endangered ground hornbill.
