Shamwari, meaning “my friend” in Shona, is the pinnacle of private game reserves and home to the coveted Big 5. It’s a place where guests can exist in harmony with nature, however fleeting the moment, where wildlife roam the landscape under the relentless African sun.

Shamwari has 7 lodges and 1 explorer camp; each providing distinct experiences. From exclusive tranquillity, effortless family enjoyment or the back-to-nature appeal of a luxury tented camp.

Tucked away in the depths of the bushveld lies Lobengula Lodge. This tranquil lodge has been designed to resemble a traditional African kraal, boasting panoramic views of the mountains and valleys. For those wanting an African lodge experience, book your room at Lobengula Lodge.
