Shambala, Awarded World’s Leading Private Game Reserve Eight Years in a Row In a country that offers you hundreds of luxury game lodges across all of the country's provinces, Shambala combines numerous unique and remarkable experiences in a remarkably intimate and luxurious manner. Shambala has also been creative in rewarding guests with a wide range of activities to enrich the overall experience. This includes Sundowner Cruises on Shambala’s 30-hectare Douw Steyn Dam, Fishing, Quad Biking, a Shooting Range, and private Bush Walks & Picnics. One of the most prized advantages Shambala offers you is the surprising and unusual lack of other vehicles to interfere with game drive sightings. Very rarely are there more than one or two vehicles on game drives in the entire reserve, allowing you and your family or friends lengthy and peaceful encounters with the rich diversity of wildlife resident to Shambala. There are two luxurious and individually spectacular lodges in family friendly Shambala: Zulu Camp and the Nelson Mandela Villa. Zulu Camp is built in traditional Zulu style with streams from the nearby river running through the camp, creating a unique large private waterhole right next to the lodge that often features hippos for the guests to safely enjoy viewing from their dining tables, swimming pool or bar area. The Nelson Mandela Villa offers 5 luxury bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and a spectacular Presidential Suite. The villa features a large dining room, two lounges, a huge outdoor deck, and an indoor/outdoor heated swimming pool situated on a viewing deck that overlooks a private waterhole. Inspired by the legacy and by his deep friendship with the former President, Shambala owner Douw Steyn commissioned the building of the Nelson Mandela Centre for Reconciliation in Shambala. This special retreat gave Mandela the opportunity to work uninterrupted in peace and solitude. "We have been incredibly honored to again be recognized by the World Travel Awards as the world's leading private game reserve" says General Manager of Shambala, Tinus Nel. With the steep reduction in foreign guests as a result of the pandemic and accompanying lockdowns, Shambala has been fortunate in being able to welcome South African residents to the reserve and lodges with an all- inclusive package.
