Tshipise means something warm, with large baobab trees dotting the landscape and the famous Tshipise koppie towering over this resort. It is also 105 km from the Kruger National Parks Northern Pafuri Gate.
The self-catering rondavels and campsites are barely visible among the Mopani, red bush willow and jakkalsbessie trees. Guests can soak in the bushveld atmosphere around a braai with a South African potjie, or enjoy a delicious meal in the restaurant.
There are three conference facilities that can host between 20 to 300 people, with standard equipment.
Amenities on the resort include horse riding, Jukskei in season, bush drives, putt-putt, tennis courts, trampolines, volleyball in season, walking trails, hot and cold swimming pools, Bowls in season and a kiddies play park.

"We look forward to a weekend with a family event only to be greatly disappointed in the stay.The amenities are old and require significant upgrade.The plumbing in our chalet was over running, the bed worse for worn.Tshipise will not see us again."
"The pool was clean we enjoy swimming"
"Friendly people. All facilities are very neat and clean"
"I really enjoyed the environment. I was disappointed by the cleaning services. Even though reported no action took place. Supervisors came but the cleaner promised to clean again but never showed up. The towels were surrounded by spider web when I arrived and I had to kill big spiders, the bedding was stuffy. So except the chalet cleaning service all went well"
