Shumbalala Game Lodge

The Shumbalala Game Lodge in the Timbavati Reserve is a unique place where the African wild is interrupted only by the quiet appreciation of guests being waited upon in the true tradition of Africa in their luxurious surroundings.

In addition to the game viewing decks and swimming pools, there are two lounges, a curio shop and a library in which to relax between game drives. Come home to the welcome of a luxurious lodge after an uplifting experience in the bush, your senses inspired by all that is natural.

Sumptuous cuisine prepared by a well trained chef is enjoyed either on the lodge decks positioned to ensure scenic vistas, or by candlelight in more formal surroundings in the main dining room accompanied by a crackling fire in winter. Open air fire-side dinners are an occasion, and an opportunity to share your experience...

Good food is complimented by wines of excellence - select your own in this exclusive underground cellar in full view of the water hole!

Set under shady African trees lining the seasonal Monwana River, the game lodge comprises four luxury suites and a large, two bed-roomed Presidential Suite that offers the ultimate luxury on safari.

Only eight guests are accommodated at one time. All the suites have overhead fans, air-conditioning, open fireplaces, and designer "picture window" bathroom suites that include an additional outside shower for the more adventurous and a private viewing deck.
