Shindzela offers walking trails of about 2.5-3 hours in the morning instead of doing a game drive. Each walking trail is lead by a qualified lead and back up trails guide.

No children under the age of 16 years are allowed on these trails.
Shindzela offers morning and afternoon/evening game drives of about 3-3.5 hours. Shindzela conducts their safaris in 4x4 Landrover vehicles (seating 8 guests per vehicle max) and guests are taken out by professional qualified field guides. Prior to each safari activity guests are given a thorough safety briefing before embarking on their safari adventure.
