Setting Description

Mazuri Shamba Lodge lies within the Grietjie Private Nature Reserve, a protected area that forms part of the Greater Kruger ecosystem. The landscape here is a mix of open plains, rocky outcrops and riverine forest, offering excellent wildlife sightings. Elephants, giraffe, buffalo and a wide variety of antelope move freely through the reserve, while birdlife is abundant all year round. Morning and afternoon game drives bring guests up close to the animals, and guided bush walks offer a different way to experience the sights and sounds of the wild. Between activities, you can relax by the pool, watch the sunset from the deck or enjoy a drink around the fire. The setting combines the adventure of the bush with the comfort of a peaceful, privately run lodge.
