Chelinda Camp sits near the centre of the plateau at 2,300 metres, beside a small dam ringed by pine plantations. It is the only accommodation hub inside the park: a handful of stone cabins, a lodge with a restaurant and a fireplace that runs all evening, a campsite, and a fuel pump that you should not assume is working. Most visitors base themselves here for two or three nights and use it as the launching point for game drives, walks, and horseback safaris.
The cabins are basic but comfortable, with hot showers and fireplaces — both essential at this altitude. The lodge bar is small and friendly, and the view from the deck across the grassland to the surrounding hills is one of the great quiet pleasures of the park. Book well ahead in peak season (June to September); the camp fills up.
