A warm greeting awaits from the friendly Shumbalala team who are on hand to personally welcome you to their special lodge.

Set under a canopy of trees on the banks of the Monwana River, the thatched spacious lodge and deck overlook the riverbed and waterhole frequented by game.

The small number of guests in this exclusive boutique lodge ensures exclusivity and privacy.

Spacious chalets all have a private viewing deck, overhead fans, air-conditioning, open fireplaces, and a "picture window" bathroom with outside shower. 

The 2-bedroomed 225 sqm Presidential unit offers a dining room, lounge and private pool.

Watch game from the decks, spend lazy days at the pool, birdwatch, read in the library or choose a gift from the curio shop.

Excellent cuisine and open-air fireside dinners are an occassion. Select a fine wine from the unique underground cellar overlooking the waterhole.

Enjoy early morning and late afternoon game drives with qualified and experienced rangers.

The Big Five, as well as cheetah, smaller game and birds of prey are encountered, and leopard, considered to be the most prized sighting, are often spotted.

Close encounters of a different kind are experiences that will linger in your memory long after your visit to Shumbalala.
