Shimungwe Lodge - Thornybush Game Reserve - Kruger Private Reserves - South Africa

Shimungwe Lodge is a newly opened lodge that resides in the illustrious Thornybush Game Reserve, which is home to an incredible variety of animals from your general game to the Big Five.

Amazing experience, Namibia is my favorite!

Max Saidy put together a fantastic itinerary, we hired a car and explored all the different parts and highlights of Namibia. We loved Sossusvlei and Etosha, I still can’t believe the beautiful yet wild landscape. We are planning to return next year so we can visit Botswana and South Africa. Thank you Max for your great advice, your recommendations were spot on!

We were really impressed…..Andy is wonderful!

My husband & I are experienced travelers, when we wanted to visit Botswana and Victoria Falls we didn’t know where to start. I reached out to African Safaris Direct online and within 20 minutes, I received a call to confirm receipt of my request. The phone call went on for 45 minutes where I interrogated Andy and I asked all the questions I had in order to understand the ins and outs of our itinerary 🙂
Our holiday was incredible and I highly recommend Andy Saidy and African Safaris Direct.

What an incredible holiday with African Safaris Direct!

We booked a 2 weeks holiday with Max from African Safaris Direct and we were not disappointed. Max was available around the clock to answer all our questions and take our many calls. He even came up with many wonderful ideas to help us plan our holiday of a life time! Our African safari included four countries, we were blown away to see our itinerary being executed by professional individuals and all services were delivered on time and in the best possible way. Our drivers and guides were first class and we loved the African bush barbeque at our safari lodge, you should try it! Thank you Max for a memorable safari, we will most certainly be back in Africa soon.

Shimungwe Private Lodge

Shimungwe, named after the Bateleur, is the latest addition to Safari Lodges and Classic Retreats in South Africa’s (SLACRSA’s) prestigious portfolio of exceptional African experiences. This luxurious, yet laid-back, family-friendly lodge is carefully crafted around a bend in the dry Timbavati River to bring you the best possible experiences available in the prime game viewing area of the Greater Kruger National Park.

Once reserved for private use by invited guests only, Shimungwe retains an intimate charm and is perfectly suited to exclusive use bookings. The lodge comprises just eight beds as well as comfortable dining and relaxation areas, a private game drive vehicle, and a crystal clear swimming pool.

Each carefully thought out space immerses guests in the unique, tranquil vibe of their surroundings to create a truly authentic southern African safari experience. A day at Shimungwe includes a morning and evening game drive, culminating in an evening meal around the campfire or al fresco with a view. In between, there’s plenty of time to enjoy moments of reflection and relaxation in your luxury suite or around camp.
