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.

Better than expected
This is the first time I've used a travel service. Nerine developed an itinerary that was exactly what we were looking for, within our budget and much faster and easier than what I could come up with independently.
