Sirheni Camp

Destination

Kruger National Park

Sirheni is a Tsonga word that means cemetery, after a type of elephant graveyard at a site near to the camp. Sirheni Bushveld Camp is situated on the edge of the Kruger National Park’s northern plains within the Mopane veld of the region. The Sirheni Dam, on the Mphongolo River, lies next to the camp. The accommodation facilities and the camp’s two bird hides overlook the dam and a wide variety of game and birds are attracted to it. Visitors have been awakened to the sounds of lion and hyena, as there are often kills at the dam. Sirheni has a resident leopard that is seen on a regular basis, often coming down to drink at the dam. Sirheni Camp forms part of a relatively new concept in bush lodging accommodation in the Kruger National Park. Smaller, more luxurious camps are built in the more remote areas of the park. Each of these smaller camps in Kruger National Park are situated within easy reach of the larger rest camps so that guests can make use of the larger camps amenities if needed.
