About Thawela Tented camp

This highly diverse reserve features undulating hills, low-lying grassy plains, and mixed woodland punctuated by the ghost-like Star Chestnut trees and large mahoganies. To the reserve’s east, the Shire river cuts through the landscape and ultimately crashes over the Kapuchira Falls. Majete Hill, the reserve’s highest point, provides a breath-taking vantage point from which to see the whole reserve. In prime location for easy access to the reserve, and with its own productive waterhole, Thawale Camp is a simple peaceful outpost from which to experience Majete’s diverse wildlife offering. Completely unfenced, a stay here is a safari in its own right. Adding to the lure is Thawale Camp’s conservation model whereby 100% of its revenue is ploughed directly back into the reserve and surrounding communities.
