The Shikwari Nature Reserve offers two distinct accommodation options. The four-star Shikwari Suites provide six private suites with en-suite bathrooms, complimentary coffee, tea, and cookies, along with thoughtful amenities like gowns, slippers, and eco-friendly toiletries. For budget-conscious travelers, the Pangolin Rondavels offer four self-catering units, two with half-bathrooms and two sharing a separate private bathroom. A communal kitchenette with a gas hob and electric oven is available, as is a braai boma. Guests opting for the B&B option at the rondavels should note that they need to bring their own kitchenware, tableware, braai tools, and charcoal. Dinner can be pre-booked or arranged 24 hours in advance. A swimming pool is available at both locations. While the rondavels do not have TVs or Wi-Fi, access is available 500 meters away at the Shikwari Suites Camp, where all guests enjoy breakfast. Several restaurants are also located nearby.
