Mlilwane Rest Camp is found in the southern corner of the reserve, in the midst of a well-matured rehabilitated area. Tall indigenous trees, all grown from seed, now tower over the camp overlooking an artificially created wetland system, which is home to hippopotamus, crocodile and a variety of water birds including infrequent visiting fish eagles. The camp is unfenced, yet relatively safe as only smaller species of wildlife occur in the sanctuary. The camp is tranquil and relaxing with a continual stream of animals such as impala, warthog and nyala – ostrich too, walking between the facilities quietly tolerant of human presence.
There is a semi-circle of 8 rustic rest camp huts around the central rest camp area, all consisting of a single room with an En-suite bathroom. The first six are wooden and thatch huts and the last two are Swazi style grass beehives.
The two beehive villages have the look and feel of traditional Swazi homesteads with grass dome-shaped huts arranged in semi-circles, central log fires and seating areas, all semi-enclosed by traditional Swazi kraal fencing. The huts are simple and sparsely furnished containing beds, a small table, bedside light and fan. Some are en suite with their own bathrooms attached.
Mlilwane Campsite: 20 campsites are located in a Eucalyptus forest, with private braai, water and electrical points; 10 campsites are located in an indigenous forest, with nearby water points and no power points. All campsites share a large ablution block.
