About Shikwari Game Reserve
The Shikwari Nature Reserve offers two distinct accommodation options. The four-star Shikwari Suites provide six private suites with en-suite bathrooms, complimentary coffee, tea, and cookies, along with thoughtful amenities like gowns, slippers, and eco-friendly toiletries.
For budget-conscious travelers, the Pangolin Rondavels offer four self-catering units, two with half-bathrooms and two sharing a separate private bathroom. A communal kitchenette with a gas hob and electric oven is available, as is a braai boma.
Guests opting for the B&B option at the rondavels should note that they need to bring their own kitchenware, tableware, braai tools, and charcoal. Dinner can be pre-booked or arranged 24 hours in advance. A swimming pool is available at both locations.
While the rondavels do not have TVs or Wi-Fi, access is available 500 meters away at the Shikwari Suites Camp, where all guests enjoy breakfast. Several restaurants are also located nearby.

Not having a tv in my room , was a turn off for me .
I think it will be best if guests are advised to only come to the premises with off road cars.

A capming experience for a five star price!
Dirty bed sheet, third class furniture, non functional ancient age television, rotting food in the common fridge.. You get the idea. Its literally in the bushes.. You shouldn't be using a two wheel drive to get there. They should mention thisin the description.
Maid was of pleasing nature, tried to be helpful.
Owner/ manager was nowhere to be found. No concierge services at all. You are on your own. Also did I mention no locks on the doors and no safety guarantee. One of the toilets was non functional. Bath tub was not
