Shalati Bush Lodge

Shalati Bush Camp is unique, offering an intimate and truly memorable bush and wildlife experience combined with the culture of local Shangaan population, of Africa and its people today. Uniquely located on the border of Manyaleti Game Reserve: "place of the stars", between Kruger National Park, Timbavati and the Sabi Sand Reserve. There is direct access to 25000 hectares of prime game reserve. The Kruger National Park legend is on the doorstep: aside for the over 300 bird species that inhabit the area, lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopard roam in perfect natural surroundings. Shalati accommodates a maximum of 36 guests in its 18 huts built according to the traditional Shangaan style with mosquito nets lending a regal tone and the clay, wood and thatch bring back the feeling of the African bush. On suite bathrooms are beautifully thatched and have reed walls. Paraffin lamps add to the true bush experience. Each hut has its own personal "chaperone" according to the Shangaan tradition.

A traditional Boma is the venue for delectable evening meals around an open fire. Delicious meals are prepared in the camp's bush kitchen, private dinner settings for the romantic: vintage South African wines and champagne to order. Superb picnic lunches. Hearty bush breakfasts are served. You can take your own car and do game drive into the Kruger National Park or the Manyeleti Reserve or you can book game drives at Shalati.
