Shishangeni by Bon Hotels, Kruger National Park

Camp Shawu Tents have a unique location in front of a watering hole that house Hippos, and see a string of animals come to hydrate like elephants, impalas, and giraffes....You can seat on your deck and enjoy the show. Our Safari Guide Sifiso, was AMAZING! He made the trip even more special. The property lacks maintenance ...the pool was not maintained hence looked like a mosquito fest, the umbrellas were all broken hence no shade to sit out on the beautiful deck overlooking the watering hole, the doors of the main area were mostly out of service hence not allowing a proper breeze to flow through...The food was average. That said, you pay for the location and an amazing guide not for the property....

The friendly and cheerful staff, the exciting game drives, an outdoor shower, the water next to the room attracting all manner of wild life - these were all expected at Camp Shawu. But they do have a chef that produces absolutely amazing dishes. You could come visit just for that!

Thank you Shishangeni lodge for the warm welcome all the depar**ents there we so lovely. Pass our gratitude to GM we say thank you for inviting S.M PHOTOGRAPHY and it's been honored in our hearts to be part of your experience. We cannot stop talking about the game drive it was extraordinary to see animals so close. (Big up to Mr. Sifiso and I forgot the name of the man who took us on the first drive his also good ,he got deeper knowledge of the camp. Moving to the chef they can cook the food was delicious and the waiter and waitress are doing wonderful work on the floor. The moment they welcome us outside we felt at home. I can tell you guys,GM is a good manager I tell you, by two days I have observed him challenging his staff to explode.

Look no further for a perfect safari experience. The lodging is in a private section of the Park with perfect access to animals. Saw all the big 5 in three days. Solomon went above and beyond in ensuring good experience. The staff are friendly and ensure all needs are met. Will recommend all my friends stay here.

We spent 3 wonderful days at Camp.Shonga. Stephen the campanager and chef is a delightful.humble hard working gentleman. And he turns out the nicest food. We were waited on by Wyn and she too.was fantastic. Appart from really looking after us she has a great knowledge of the animals and environment. Then Herald our game ranger. Also such a.kind hearted person who could.not do enough for us. We had great drives morning and night. This trip.was made delightful by some.special.people and a special.place.

Recurring visitor as always the service is top notch, was worried when we heard our manager had left us but it turned out well the new manger knows her stuff so it was good. Rangers as always blow me away, this time our Ranger was Sifiso Nkosi. That man has the eyeofan eagle and nature seems to love him as we saw 3 of big five interchangeably every safari. We did see the big five which is almost impossible to achieve. The staff as always, accommodates us and our personal needs. We do ice baths and they always hook us up.

The perfect place for a Kruger experience. Our 5 days at Camp Shonga were absolutely fantastic. Steven and his team looked after us wonderfully in camp and our game guide, Phillip, was brilliant, teaching us about not only the game viewing, but also the birds and vegetation we were seeing. We saw the big 5 (multiple times) with close up viewing of the big cats a highlight. I highly recommend Camp Shonga.

Amazing facility in Kruger National Park. Private villas were very luxurious and the outdoor shower was a highlight. The twice daily safaris included drinks and food enroute whilst viewing the wildlife. The guides were very knowledgeable and were committed to ensuring guests saw all the animals. Meals were included and provided different options each day.

Myself and my daughter spent two nights three days in the SHONGA lodge tents. I can not recommend this experience enough. We had Steven as chef and a lovely lady plus Texan as our safari driver . We were very lucky to have the whole camp to ourselves and everyone made us super welcome! The food was insane and you will never be hungry. We went on two safari per day and one in the morning on our last day. We saw everything from elephants, Lions and was lucky to see a Leopard after a kill. All the team welcomed everyone with a smile and hello even at 5 am for the morning trips. The camp is run by generators so no wi- fi which we actually enjoyed and lights out by 10pm. The do provide you with a torch. There is an outdoor shower, so get ready in the morning to say hello to the monkeys. We also saw a group of elephants walk past whilst we relaxed by the pool. Thank you again Steven and his team. We will definitely recommend this experience and this is solely due to the amazing Safari but Steven and his team, not forgetting Texan who is an amazing informative guide.
