Shumbalala Game Lodge is an unexpected oasis of luxury and comfort in the unforgiving heat of the African bushveld.
Nestled in the heart of the 14,000 hectares Thornybush Reserve bordering the Kurger National Park lies Shumbalala Game Lodge which is situated on the banks of the seasonal Monwana river. The Lodge is managed by a team with a friendly yet professional approach to their guests, also overseen by the family themselves.
