Sindile, Shamwari's new luxury tented camp is a secluded, luxury
getaway set deep in the African veld.

Named for the famed leopard of Shamwari, the camp mimics a solitary leopard's sanctuary, blending with the surrounding bush while providing excellent vantages over the Bushman's River and surrounding plains.

Sindile is isiXhosa for ?survivor', testament to the celebrated leopardess that survived numerous lion maulings to raise five litters of cubs.
