Guest review
10.0I guess what stood out the most for us was the wood burning fireplace in our room. Very nice as in early August it can get quite cold there. And of course, everything about Shumbalala was absolutely top shelf. Special kudos to Emilo, our driver. He got us into tho EVERYTHING. Good job all.
Especial e memorável. Vamos sentir saudades
10.0Tudo excepcional, do café, ao quarto e cama, equipe especial. Realmente um lugar unico.
− Gostei de tudo !
Amazing experience, highly recommended!
10.0Classic safari lodge decor suitable for anyone looking for an exceptional and memorable safari. Very experienced and knowledgable guide, great food and comfortable ambience with a view of the watering hole from almost everywhere. Thornybush has a high concentration of animals and only a few lodges, plus it allows off-roading, so you’re almost guaranteed to have up-close animal sightings. Chalets have everything you need plus a plunge pool, private deck, fireplace, and super comfortable beds.
− The chalets are a bit dark.
The best vacations we could imagine
10.0The shumbalala location is amazing!!! Inside the thornbush reserve with a water hole just in front. the team is just gorgeous, Andri is very sweet, Danielle is super proactive, iordi and Fumani they are the best! They just met all expectations and succed.
Highly recommend for visiting.
10.0The lodge is beautiful, the views are amazing. Shumbalala Family made the stay unforgettable. Everything is well thought and organized, friendly and sincere. All is needed from guests is to relax and enjoy, which we truly did. Ryan was our ranger and together with the tracker arranged awesome game drives and so much information about animals, birds and flora around. Loved every moment of our stay.
Heavenly again!
