Limpopo Province |
| |
Camp Shonga is a small intimate bush retreat resting in the foothills of the Lebombo Mountains, overlooking the African bushveld. As part of 15,000 hectare private concession in the Kruger National Park, Camp Shonga gives the guests the opportunity to experience the real Africa – majestic, unfiltered and unadorned.
The emphasis of the camp is on nature without losing the luxury and superior service our guests are accustomed to. We are striving top create the optimum balance between people and their environment, whilst having a minimal impact on the surrounding habitat.
Camp Shonga can accommodate 10 guests in 5 individual tents, all luxuriously equipped with en-suite bathrooms and ball and claw baths, outside shower, fans, fireplace and private game-viewing deck with recliner chairs. Here, we believe that luxury and comfort in the bush is ultimately the best escape form the stresses of the world. Wander up to the main area and laze in the charming open lounge area, or dine and sip on drinks on a spacious wooden deck as the game meander past.
Located in the ‘Big 5’ terrain, the ethos behind Camp Shonga is for the highly trained and experienced guides to share their vast knowledge of varying eco-systems with our guests, with the added emphasis of inviting guests’ participation in select environmental awareness programmes.
View the big game from open vehicles, on foot or from the comfort of your room as you experience an African few have been privileged to see. Afterwards, dine on traditional cuisine around a roaring boma fire under the stars of an African sky.

| Kruger National Park |
The world-renowned Kruger National Park offers a wildlife experience that ranks with the best in Africa. Best known for the 'Big Five' - Lion, Elephant, Leopard, Buffalo and Rhino - the Kruger Park is truly the flagship of Africa and South Africa's game reserves.
Established in 1898 to protect the wildlife of the South African Lowveld, this national park of nearly 2 million hectares, is unrivalled in the diversity of its life forms and a world leader in advanced environmental management techniques and policies. Kruger is home to an impressive number of species: 336 trees, 49 fish, 34 amphibians, 114 reptiles, 507 birds and 147 mammals.
Man's interaction with the Lowveld environment over many centuries - from bushman rock paintings to majestic archaeological sites like Masorini and Thulamela - is very evident in the Kruger National Park. These treasures represent the cultures, persons and events that played a role in the history of the Kruger and are conserved along with the park's natural assets.
The Kruger National Park is a savanna region, with a mixture of trees and grassland. Six permanent rivers flow through the park - the Crocodile, Letaba, Luvuvhu, Olifants, Sabie, and Shingwidzi. Denser subtropical forest occurs along these rivers and provides an important habitat for wildlife. There are no restricting fences between the Private Game Reserves and the Kruger National Park, so exciting wildlife encounters in the open veld are the order of the day, and game viewing here is truly a spectacular experience.
Watch in absolute awe and wonder as a lion stalks its prey, or at a cheetah chasing fleeing antelope at breathtaking speed. You might come across the Park's big and tall, the gigantic and stately Elephant, and gaze at the dizzying height of Africa's tallest creature, the Giraffe. |
