Shingalani Bush Camp & Game drives

A warm Northwest welcome awaits you at Shingalani Bush Camp situated in the Kommando Nek Wildlife Reserve, overlooking Hartbeespoort Dam and overshadowed by the Majestic Magaliesburg Mountain Range. The location, just on the doorstep of Gauteng makes it the perfect venue to host corporate breakfasts, lunches and evening events.

The camp is proving to be the ultimate "Bosberaad" conferencing venue for up to 100 delegates, come and enjoy the privacy and exclusivity that the camp offers. Conferences often end up with an impromptu braai and drinks around camp boma fire after enjoying sundowners whilst watching the wildlife come graze right in front of the camp. Africa at it's finest

Combine this bush experience with a boat cruise for your team or clients and you have the makings of a great day out in Harties.

Currently we do not offer accommodation but can arrange this for our guests in the nearby Village of Kosmos where we have access to over 80 rooms in guest houses and lodges. Transfers to and from the venue are also arranged should you not want to drive the 4km to Kosmos

The venue has hosted the most romantic "Out of Africa" weddings for up to 200 guests and is sure to host many more. Our wedding co-ordinator will be happy to see to all the brides needs and wants and make it a day the couple will remember for the rest of their lives.

Menu's can be custom made to suite every taste but you need to try our famous Northwest Bush Braai menu which is always a winner.

We operate daily game drives on open safari vehicles in the Kommandonek Wildlife reserve, a 200 hectare amazing natural African bushveld with an abundance of birdlife, flora, fauna and wildlife which includes giraffe, sable, water buck, zebra, blesbok, kudu, nyala, wildebeest, eland, impala, spring buck and warthog to mention a few.

Vehicles depart daily from Harties Harbour under the expert guidance of our friendly and knowledgeable game rangers.
