Isinkwe Backpackers Bushcamp

Isinkwe Backpackers Bushcamp, an ideal travellers stop, has a strong wildlife theme throughout the camp as it lies nestled within indigenous coastal sand forest. On arrival you are greeted by friendly, shady trees forming a tranquil hide-away; but also an excellent base from which to explore the many famous and unspoiled wildlife destinations of the Elephant Coast Tourism Region. The camp abounds with resident birdlife and other small animals to be seen throughout the day.

The word "ISINKWE" (pronounced "I" - "sink" - "we"), is the Zulu translation of the Thick Tailed Bushbaby. These strange nocturnal animals are classified under the primate family and frequent the lodge at night. Their distinctive and thrilling night-time cries are part of the evening bush sounds. Keep a look out for them in the evenings during your stay.
