Shishangeni Private Lodge is situated on 15,000 hectares of a private concession at the Kruger National Park. Shishangeni comprises three camps to choose from: Shishangeni Private Lodge, Camp Shonga and Camp Shawu and has a stellar reputation as a premier wildlife reserve with the some of the finest game viewing on the continent.

Says CEO Alan Vels of Signature Life Hospitality” we have taken over the management, sales and marketing for the owner, and we look forward to creating our Signature Safari experience for these lodges. We believe that a true Safari experience offers many activities to choose from, apart from the traditional game drive. We want our guests to fall in love with the true bush experience around which our lodges are created.”

Shishangeni Lodge has 22 individual chalets for 44 guests, all of which are luxuriously appointed with a private game-viewing deck, fireplace, outdoor shower and relaxation area. Inter-leading rooms are available for families. Personal, quality service, children’s’ activities, a lounge area with plasma TV, a small library, an intimate bar, superior wine cellar, compact fitness centre, and sparkling swimming pool are the other delights of this lodge.

Nearby, Camp Shawu is also part of the private concession 15 000 hectares and is named after the legendary African bull elephant ‘Shawu” who had the longest tusks ever seen in South Africa, and travelled around in this reserve for 59 years. The Camp is uniquely designed and built with authentic buffalo dung walls, and all lodgings have private wooden decks overlooking the Mpanamana Dam. Comfortably hosting 10 guests in 5 luxury suites, all have a classic ball and claw bath, open lounge, a fireplace, ceiling fans and outside “star-sky” shower. Recline on your veranda loungers and enjoy an “out of Africa view” of game gathering to drink. Lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and many buck as well as cheetah, hippo and crocodiles, may just make an appearance.

Camp Shonga is a small gem of a bush retreat in the foothills of the Lebombo Mountains, also part of the private concession. Shonga boasts views of the mountains and sprawling bushveld and they are particularly proud of their highly trained and experienced guides who love to share their knowledge and bush tales with guests.

Camp Shonga effortlessly combines quiet personalised service with style, comfort and luxury in the bush, so all have the best experience of Africa possible. Guests can enjoy a dip in a splash pool or join others on the deck for sunset drinks and starlit dining.
