From the boardroom to the Bush, travelers in South Africa can now add an exclusive game experience to a business trip without having to spend hours getting to a game reserve. Situated in the picturesque Waterberg Mountains, Shambala Game Reserve, until recently a private estate, is only two and a half-hours’ driving time from Johannesburg and there is nothing else like it in South Africa.

Shambala Game Reserve invites safari-goers to immerse themselves in the African Bush with the utmost luxury and style.

Shambala offers guests an unforgettable experience in a breathtaking setting as they relax and unwind to the sound of echoing birdcalls, where all senses move with the rhythm of the river flowing throughout the camp.

Unlike a typical workday, time is one’s own at Shambala. Guests can spend their day experiencing unforgettable elephant safaris to view the bush from the back of a magnificent animal. Guests can experience Africa’s Big Five and other game such as the Cape Mountain zebra, cheetah, spotted hyena, and many antelope species.

Shambala Zulu Camp indulges the senses during every moment of the stay.

After a day in the bush, they’re invited to a pampering session at the secluded Shambala spa, with signature therapies and traditional spa treatments such as facials, reflexology, manicures and pedicures using Elemis or Africology products.

They then round off the afternoon with a game drive and a Bush Picnic followed by a sundowner cruise on the Douw Steyn Dam, taking in a spectacular sunset as the Bush turns to dusk. Every evening a campfire is lit, offering the magical experience of a few hours in the silence of the bush under the Southern hemisphere’s starlit sky.
