Additional Details

We recommend packing the following:

• Cotton clothing in neutral colours is recommended for all game drives and bush walks. It is best to avoid white clothing and dark colours for bush activities, as they tend to attract certain bugs. Formal wear is not required.
• Comfortable walking shoes/hiking boots for walks and sandals to wear around the lodge.
• Swimming costume/bathing suits, sun block, sun hat, sunglasses and lip balm.
• Camera and video camera, binoculars, spare memory cards and charging equipment.
• The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) is strictly prohibited at Kishindo.
• Our lodge is located in a remote areas and therefore guests should remember to bring an extra pair of correction glasses, and contact lenses, with contact lens solution (if required) as well as a sufficient supply of any prescription

Malaria
Kishindo is situated in a malaria-free area. It is therefore not essential that guests consult their medical practitioners regarding anti-malaria requirements prior to travel.

Passports 
All visitors to South Africa require a passport valid for six months from the date of departure. For each entry into South Africa, your passport must have at least two consecutive pages that are completely blank (not including the final page or endorsement pages). You may be refused entry if these conditions are not met.

Visas 
Visitors from the USA, most Commonwealth countries, most Western European countries, and Japan don’t require visas, and will be issued a free entry permit on arrival, valid for up to 90 days. Visitors of other nationalities may need to obtain a visa from a South African embassy or consulate prior to travel. Please ensure that you check the entry requirements for the passport you will be travelling on in advance of your departure.

Travel Insurance 
In order to protect your investment, we strongly encourage our guests to take out sufficient travel insurance as Kishindo does not take on the liabilities and risks associated with travel and cannot be held liable for delays, cancellations, or trip interruptions.

Fortunately, Kishindo falls well outside of South Africa’s malaria areas, therefore there is no need for concern.

Kishindo is a fully-fledged African game reserve located on the edge of South Africa’s Great Karoo. Therefore, we have a wide variety of wild animals that call the property home. Along with the tigers, our cheetah are certainly the jewel in the crown of Kishindo. However, you might be surprised to find that seeing some of the smaller, rare species can be equally exciting! If you are lucky, you could spot the African wild cat, the black footed cat, leguaan, water mongoose, porcupine or snakes such as the Puff Adder and Cape cobra. Our night-prowlers include the aardvark, aardwolf, serval, bat-eared fox, cape fox, springhare and a variety of small rodent species. Kishindo also offers a whole host of antelope species such as eland, kudu, waterbuck, blesbuck, blue wildebeest, plains zebra, impala, springbuck, mountain reedbuck, steenbuck and red hartebeest.

Kishindo offers a good balance between fine dining and homestyle cooking, and we are able to cater to all our guests’ culinary needs. Apart from our meals served at the lodge, we also offer the chance to eat out in the bush at our designated “bush picnic” spots either overlooking the impressive and beautiful Vanderkloof dam or the incredible landscape that Kishindo has to offer.
