VILLA LOBENGULA
Shamwari Game Reserve, Eastern CapeLocation
Lovely for honeymooners, the thatched,
ethnically decorated Villa Lobengula is tucked deep into the valley
bushveld and gives one that distinctive Colonial experience. It
overlooks the sweeping plains leading down the the Bushmans River.
After a game drive you can relax, swim or enjoy a drink
at the sunken pool bar in the lovely pool area. In fact, the lodge
has two pool areas - one on the lawns and the other, more private
and out of sight of the lodge, surrounded by aloes. The wooden
deck overlooks the dense African bush and provides a great location
for having meals or listening to mystical African storytelling
in front of the fireplace.
