How Can We Help?
Are game drives or activities included in my stay at Nkuwa Wilderness Camp?
Yes. Twice-daily activities are automatically included in your stay for our Greater Kruger Safaris. These are group activities, and they usually head out at sunrise and in the late afternoon, when wildlife is most active. Guided walking Safaris can be arranged prior to your stay with our reservations team and is included.
Can I self-drive through the reserve?
No, you are unable to self-drive in private reserves.
What animals can be found in the Selati Game Reserve?
Guests can expect to see the Big Five during a 2-3 night stay. Other animals commonly encountered include giraffe, zebra, warthog, impala, kudu, waterbuck, wildebeest, bushbuck, baboon and hyena. Birdlife is abundant, with species such as hornbills, rollers, eagles, kingfishers, and starlings frequently spotted.
What are the check-in and check-out times?
Check-in time is at 13:00, and check-out time is at 10:00.
Is the camp family-friendly?
Children aged 5 and older are accepted. Children 16 and older are only permitted on bush walks.
Is Nkuwa located in a malaria area?
The Selati Game Reserve region is a low-risk malaria area. It is best to consult your local doctor for advice. Generally, the type of medication needed for the Kruger area is Malarone, Doxycycline or Mefloquine. Mosquitos are more prevalent in the wet, warmer season. Mosquito repellent and creams are also great preventative measures.
Does Sun Destinations operate as a tour operator or a booking platform?
We’re neither a traditional tour operator nor a simple booking platform. Sun Destinations is a marketing and representation company that acts on behalf of each property as a centralised reservations office. We work closely with travel agents, DMC’s and our direct guests to make booking easy and transparent.
How do I book a safari with Sun Destinations?
Booking is simple. You can enquire directly through our website, via email at reservations@sundestinations.co.za, or through your preferred travel agent. Our Reservations team will guide you through availability, booking suggestions, itinerary creation, and any special requests to ensure your safari experience is tailored to you.
Can Sun Destinations help me combine multiple lodges into one itinerary?
Absolutely. Many travellers choose to combine different properties within our Collection to experience contrasting landscapes, unique properties and different safari styles. Our Team can recommend ideal lodge pairings, assist with transfers and build seamless journeys across the Greater Kruger, Botswana and beyond.
