Nkelenga Tented Camp
OVERVIEW
Nkelenga Tented Camp is a delightful sole-use, self-catering accommodation overlooking one of Thornybush’s most active dams. A hive of bird and mammal activity will keep you enthralled while relaxing on the spacious deck of your safari tent.
This rustic bush camp, reserved for group and family safari stays, has become a much loved and sought-after destination especially with our South African guests who are drawn back, time and again. It is a magical experience having a place like this all to yourself, providing the perfect opportunity to reconnect with your friends and family.
The comfortable Meru-style tents are nestled under a grove of Fever Trees and surrounded by a large rolling lawn, perfect for a game of cricket or boules. The plunge pool is ideal for cooling off on long summer days and at night you can enjoy time around the starlit fire pit.
