Welcome to KaMsholo, Southern Gateway to Eswatini "KaMsholo"is the name given to the Rangers of Big Game Parks, "those of Msholo" - Msholo being the name given to Ted Reilly in the establishment years of conservation in Eswatini. The name stemmed from his unexpected appearance when poaching and misdeeds were happening in the bush.

nisela safaris activities

The most recent addition to Big Game Parks stable, KaMsholo Bushveld Safaris was acquired through the assistance of the James Marshal Foundation.  In Ted Reilly’s early years, he spent many days and nights camping out in the area, gaining an intimate understanding of Nature and a love for the heat and dust of the lowveld.  The area was previously known as Nisela Safaris.

KaMsholo is best known as a friendly pitstop for all travellers arriving into or departing from Eswatini through Laviumisa Border, with great restaurant facilities, take aways and clean rest rooms.  Beyond the roadside facilities, KaMsholo is a nature-rich 700ha reserve, dominated by the Umbrella Tree (Acacia tortillis) with a surprising species list which includes giraffe, reedbuck, waterbuck and ostrich.

Tinsele Rest Camp provides a tranquil overnight retreat 2km from the Restaurant, situated at the foot of the Lebombo Mountains, perfect for families, small groups, nature lovers and birders.  The Bushveld Backpackers at the main reception area provides budget travellers traditional beehive huts while Bhekilanga Guesthouse in Nsoko Village just 3km away, also managed by KaMsholo, caters for business travellers and conference guests. 

Conferencing facilities at the main complex caters for conferences of various sizes. 

Activities include Guided Game Walks, Game Drives, Pony Rides and Horse Riding while overnight guests may self-drive within the park.

Day Visitors are welcome to picnic, visit the restaurant or take part in guided activities.

Nguni Ranch House

Nguni Ranch House is set on the periphery of KaMsholo Bushveld Safaris, designed for the business traveller or groups travelling together,

Nguni Ranch House is a semi-self-catering facility with a main house and an adjacent accommodation wing all set in a large garden area with a swimming pool.  Both buildings have a deep veranda wrapping around the entire building, a central lounge area in the main house and seating on the veranda.

Each of the 11 en-suite rooms sleeps two people, some double and a few twins, with one room accommodating a single guest.  The rooms sizes vary although all 11 rooms have a small kitchenette, equipped with a microwave, small fridge, and cutlery and crockery to enable warming up food and basic food prep.  Each room has a tea and coffee station.

Nguni Ranch House is perfect for independent business travellers or friends and family groups who rent out the entire lodge.  Currently Nguni is accessed from Nsoko Village and is not connected to the park.

The Trading Post and Restaurant

The Reception building is known as The Trading Post, the hub of activity at KaMsholo. Within the building, a curio shop is alongside the Reception, showcasing local and regional curios and gifts, and the large 200-seater restaurant split into an inside dining area and the popular deck. Delicious local and traditional dishes are served a la carte or prepared as takeaways, with pizza and umcwembe being the hot favourites.

Conference & Function Facilities

Two Conference Centres adjacent to each other and close to the Trading Post, facilitate meetings of 30 and 20 delegates each (Covid protocol observed). Conference facilities include projector, flipcharts and internet.  

Tinsele Rest Camp offers an alternative, more private conferencing venue 2km into the bush, with the prerequisite of accommodation booked for delegates. This area doubles as an impressive outdoor function area amid giant bushveld trees. This is the perfect venue for celebrating special occasions, for inspirational business meetings and for team building activities. It is also ideal for those looking for a quiet bushveld retreat in an idyllic setting, against a spectacular Lubombo Mountain backdrop.

Playground, Child Facilities & Garden

A child’s playground and a small animal park with bunnies and guineapigs keep kids entertained, while seating under the trees provides a welcome fresh air respite for all travellers, or simply a restful place to await your take away.

Swimming Pool, Picnic & Braai Facilities

A picnic area with numerous braai stands for day visitors, is located conveniently close to the Trading Post with easy access from the main road.  The facility provides for fun days out for the family, looking east to the Lubombo Mountains.

All activities are booked at the Trading Post, or prearranged through Big Game Parks Central Reservations.  Activities depart from Reception.  Our guides are all trained in-house, take pride in knowing the area and animals well and enjoy imparting their knowledge with and learning from our guests.

Game Drives

Game drives are the traditional leisurely African 4x4 Safari, winding along bush roads and getting the wind through your hair. Early morning and late afternoon are the more popular game viewing times, capturing the “golden hours”.  Drives are either 1 or 1.5 hours in duration and children are welcome.

Guided Walks

Hourly Game Walks are guided along roads and game paths, or simply through the bush. These walks can take on a preferred focus – birding, general nature walk, or wildlife walk. Bottled water is included in our Guided Walks. Children are welcome in family groups.  

Being a relatively small area, self-drive is restricted in in-house residents and not open to Day Visitors. Care must be taken in rainy season, when the clay-rich soils become tricky. Guests are requested to treat all animals with respect quietly observing from a fair distance. Maps are available in the shop and at Reception.

Demarcated Bushveld Walking Trails are being created across the park, designed for birding and nature walks. These will soon be open to day visitors and overnight guests.

Horse Riding & Horse Trails

PLEASE NOTE: Horse riding is currently unavailable at KaMsholo Bushveld Safaris, with exception of pony rides.  The horses will be back soon!  We anticipate December 2022.

Chubeka Trails has extended their operations beyond Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary, now offering fantastic riding on KaMsholo Bushveld Safaris.  The extention allows for the same great riding and guiding in a very different environment, with animals such as giraffe, waterbuck and ostrich, and the highlight possibly being Chubeka's new "Nguni Trails".

Kiddies Pony Rides

A fun activity for the little ones, who get to sit in a saddle and hang on while our friendly guide leads them on a set path near the Day Visitor Area.

Hourly Rides

To fully appreciate the beauty of KaMsholo and the surprising changes in the habitats, a two hour ride is the best option.  Given time, the ride winds through giant thorn trees, dropping to the drainage lines where amazing fig forests and fever trees abound.  Giraffe are often spotted, along with nyala, kudu, zebra and more.  For the more experienced riders, trails will cross over to the eastern area, with good chance of seeing waterbuck and ostrich.  Multi-night stays will ride on both the east and west.

Hourly rides

Nguni Dipping Day

Being a regular ranch hand has always had its appeal... and to ride alongside, mustering the beautiful indigenous Nguni cattle is a real treat!  It is not a fast ride, although when a beast breaks, it may require quick mitigation and a burst of adrenalin.  Otherwise the ride heads out to first locate the herd, then move them slowly and safely to the dip area.  During the ride, our Guides share stories and traditions about these amazing cattle, the intriguing naming of the different colours and patterns and of course any wildlife and nature interest along the way. The cattle live out in the western area of KaMsholo, and once a week the horses ride out, round them up and bring them in for mandatory dipping and a general health check. Due to the unpredictable nature of this activity along with a set goal of dipping, the Nguni Dipping Day is an estimated 2,5 - 3,5 hour ride.

Nguni Dipping Day

Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) has 12 borders, making access easy from almost anywhere along our boundry with either South Africa or Mozambique. To assist, we have created a "Suggested Borders" document for you.

Hlane Royal National Park and Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary are the perfect extensions to a KaMsholo holiday with self-catering, group accommodation and camping in the north-eastern lowveld and middleveld respectively.

Mkhaya Game Reserve

eSwatini (Swaziland)

Spectacular Mkhaya was established in 1979 to save the pure Nguni breed of cattle from extinction. It’s known, however, for its black and white rhino populations (it boasts that you’re more likely to meet rhinos here than anywhere else in Africa). It's not all about rhinos though – look out for tsessebe (antelope), giraffes, buffaloes, hippo and crocodiles. It’s near the hamlet of Phuzumoya, off the Manzini–Big Bend road.

If you want to visit the reserve you have to book in advance, and even then you can’t drive in alone; you’ll be met at the pick up location at a specified pick-up time – either 10am or 4pm. While day tours can be arranged, it’s ideal to stay for at least one night. Entry fees are included in the package price.

KaMsholo Bushveld Safaris bietet wunderschöne Cottages mit Terrasse mitten in einem kleinen, privaten Game Reserve. Die Cottages sind unglaublich schön. Und im Park konnten wir aus dem Auto heraus Giraffen, Strauße, Antilopen usw. sehen. Wirklich schön! Das Cottage bietet zudem alles, was es braucht, um sich selbst zu versorgen - und ist zudem sehr stilvoll und schön eingerichtet.

Mega coole Hütte im afrikanischen Stil mitten in einem privaten Game Reserve. Deutlich schöner als auf den Bildern!! Pool zum abkühlen. Kaum Touristen um uns herum also ein tolles ruhiges Naturerlebnis. Überall Zebras, Antilopen und Wildschweine in der Umgebung. Restaurant ca 1,8 km entfernt am Anfang des Parks auch sehr lecker. Bester Kaffee bisher auf unserer Reise dort gehabt.

Excellent location!

How guest reviews work

Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score, we add up all the review scores and divide that total by the number of review scores we received. We only use a weighted review system for properties in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains) – the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the review score calculation. Guests can also give separate subscores in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently – there’s no direct link between them.

You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.

We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.

Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.

Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):

  • Politically sensitive comments
  • Promotional content
  • Illegal activities
  • Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
  • Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
  • Spam and fake content
  • Animal cruelty
  • Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
  • Any violation of our review guidelines.

To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.

An accommodation can reply to a review.

When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.

Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
