Highly Recommended Game Lodge
In the southeast of Swaziland, the heart of the lowveld, lies an unspoilt wilderness, haven to endangered species which roam the magnificent African bush. For the animals that once roamed wild and free, uninhibited by fences and boundaries, they faced and still face an uncertain future with man’s compulsion toward maximum yield, poaching and ignorance towards nature conservation and protection of our natural heritage. These once abundant animals that could be seen for miles around were, and some still are, close to extinction. Laid out along the banks of a dry
river bed, is Stone Camp where the vegetation comprises of tall fig, leadwood, sausage and knobthorn trees, with a lush under-canopy giving it a year-round subtropical appearance. Bird life in the camp is a special feature with many species of robin, purple-crested lourie, narina trogon and pink-throated twinspots among the special treats. Smaller game such as warthog visit the camp whilst the big game, such as elephant, is kept at bay outside the camp by a three-strand electric cordon.

The camp is comfortable, quiet and relaxing and a welcome retreat after a day out in the burning sun. The camp is
known as 'Stone Camp' due to the dolerite rocks used in the construction of the semi-open stone and thatch cottages.
This unique style accommodation in its primeval setting offers visitors the opportunity of really getting back to nature.
All twelve units are laid out individually in the riverine forest overlooking the dry riverbed, linked by central and branch
pathways surfaced with river sand and lit at night by paraffin lanterns as the camp has no electricity. Each unit is
totally private due to the thick vegetation, though some units are close enough together for use as an extended family
unit. The entire internal structure of these cottages is open to the external bush, which gives visitors a totally unique,
true bush experience.

As a refuge of endangered species with an intensive breeding project for re-establishing scare species in Swaziland,
Mkhaya offers superb photographic opportunities to game enthusiasts. Mkhaya currently supports 4 of the "Big five"
with Leopard, Buffalo, Elephant and black ad white Rhino being present on the reserve. Mkhaya provides tourist with
probably their best chance of seeing Black Rhino in the wild in Africa today.
