Discover an intimate, four-star retreat hidden away in one of the world’s leading safari destinations – the acclaimed Greater Kruger.

Combining the warm charm of a welcoming bush home with magnificent views over the seasonal Timbavati River, Shimungwe is a haven for nature enthusiasts seeking an authentic safari experience.

Traditional thatch roofing, towering trees and a thoughtfully crafted design create an understated, African-inspired luxury that heralds both tranquility and comfort whilst making the most of the spectacular location. With just four tastefully-appointed suites, the lodge is ideally suited to couples and small groups looking for a private escape as well as corporate and family gatherings who prefer the exclusivity of reserving an entire camp.

THE SUITES

Each of our four, luxury suites boast a private balcony with unimpeded views of the stunning African bush, allowing guests to continue wildlife spotting long after game drive has ended. Plush, king-sized beds ensure a comfortable night’s sleep and a separate dressing area plus en-suite – complete with an invigorating outdoor shower – are all tastefully decorated in nature’s muted, relaxing tones.

Furthermore, all suites include air-conditioning as standard as well as a tea and coffee station with homemade biscuits and rusks, small fridge and complementary toiletries throughout your stay. Intentionally arranged so that each offers intimate seclusion from the next, they are the ideal place to enjoy quiet time in this peaceful environment.
