Start Planning
The Magnificent Seven's 'Shawu bull', a massive South African elephant bull, long since past, was the inspiration for the commanding Camp Shawu.
Children above the age of 16 will be allowed at Camp Shawu.
Sporting no-nonsense decor and an authentic buffalo dung construction, the camp (a satellite entity to the Kruger National Park's Shishangeni Lodge) occupies a 15,000-hectare private concession under the Kruger National Park. It embraces the elements of fine safari accommodation, from its well-appointed rooms to its relaxing decks overlooking the concession. Camp Shawu is a rewarding and magical experience, right in the midst of a wild African setting.
Accommodation at Camp Shawu comprises five luxury twin rooms, completed in an authentic African motif, and providing en-suite bathroom facilities, outdoor showers, ceiling fans, fireplaces, and private patios.
Guests at Camp Shawu can indulge in exciting morning and evening game drives in open Land Rovers, venturing into the rough and untamed bush of the Limpopo Province bushveld. These drives are conducted and guided by a team of informative and experienced guides, all of whom are eager to answer questions and make the experience as comprehensive and authentic as possible. The lodge also allows for self-driven excursions into the park. For a more relaxed experience, visits are arranged for bird watching.
Facilities at Camp Shawu include a swimming pool and a charming, fully stocked bar area.
Kruger National Park plays host to a vast, free-roaming array of impressive mammals, including Burchell's zebra, African buffalo, impala, lion, black and white rhino, cheetah, leopard, elephant, and hippopotamus, as well as various reptiles and water creatures. It also boasts 517 distinct bird species.
Accommodation, all meals, morning and afternoon game drives, snacks, and beverages on game drives.
Not included are gate entrance fees, transport to the lodge itself, personal travel insurance, and extra meals.

Leigh-Ann Croeser from Safari.com was fantastic
Leigh-Ann from Safari.com was great to work with to plan our group safari trip. She was able to get me on the priority waitlist for a lodge that I liked, which ended up working out for our group during my preferred dates. Leigh-Ann was responsive and provided various tour recommendations for us to decide on the best option for us. There were a few email and name typos from Leigh-Ann that I had to correct, but other than that, I had a great experience.

Dolan was terrific
Dolan was terrific. He got back to us immediately to answer all of our questions. And was so nice to hold a room for a couple of days because of my moms passing. It gave us time to finalize her arrangements and time to book our trip. I would highly recommend using him to book your trip!!
