Camp Shonga is a small intimate bush retreat resting in the foothills of the Lebombo Mountains, overlooking the African bushveld. As part of 15,000 hectare private concession in the Kruger National Park, Camp Shonga gives the guests the opportunity to experience the real Africa – majestic, unfiltered and unadorned.

The emphasis of the camp is on nature without losing the luxury and superior service our guests are accustomed to. We are striving to create the optimum balance between people and their environment, whilst having a minimal impact on the surrounding habitat.

Camp Shonga can accommodate 10 guests in 5 individual tents, all luxuriously equipped with en-suite bathrooms and ball and claw baths, outside shower, fans, fireplace and private game-viewing deck with recliner chairs. Here, we believe that luxury and comfort in the bush is ultimately the best escape from the stresses of the world. Wander up to the main area and laze in the charming open lounge area, or dine and sip on drinks on a spacious wooden deck as the game meander past.

Located in the ‘Big 5’ terrain, the ethos behind Camp Shonga is for the highly trained and experienced guides to share their vast knowledge of varying eco-systems with our guests, with the added emphasis of inviting guests’ participation in select environmental awareness programmes.

View the big game from open vehicles, on foot or from the comfort of your room as you experience an Africa few have been privileged to see. Afterwards, dine on traditional cuisine around a roaring boma fire under the stars of an African sky.
