Where Is Shisaka Camp Located?
Shisaka Camp is situated in Sandringham, within the greater Sabi Sands ecosystem that borders the iconic Kruger National Park.
Because the reserve shares unfenced boundaries with Kruger National Park, wildlife moves freely across vast natural landscapes. This open system allows for exceptional game viewing, including frequent sightings of:
The Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, buffalo)
Cheetah and African wild dog
Plains game such as kudu and impala
Over 300 bird species
Sandringham offers a quieter, more exclusive safari setting while retaining access to this extraordinary biodiversity.
