We stayed at the Tent Camp in and found it to be everything that we had hoped. We were greeted by a ranger (at a late check in) and taken directly to the main lodge for a glass of wine and then on to our tent camp. Because we came in after dark, our first experience was a night drive... More

My family recently spent two nights at this private lodge. We were 7 people and were travelling with 13 friends in a group of 20. We paid for a 5-star accommodation and experience, but sadly in reality this is truly only a 3-star lodge. The decor in the rooms is tired, some door posts were rotten and though we paid... More

We arrived to a friendly welcome, and were shown to a lovely room - all living up to expectation. Our ranger, Leonard, was friendly and made us feel at home as soon as we departed on our first game drive. To our surprise there was no tracker with the vehicle - and no rifle. Recent poaching in Kruger has apparently... More

We stayed 3 nights in early June, full board, 2 adults and 2 children 5 and 10. Rooms were very spacious and luxurious with arm chairs, rugs, foot stools, lovely and very comfortable beds with mosquite nets. The rooms were a few steps along a board walk from the main building. The bathrooms had free standing baths that over looked... More

This place was truely magnificant. The guided tours with Simon were not only beautiful, but also educational - he really went out of his way to make sure we didn't leave without having seen the big 5! Hotel service was really first class and comfortable. Beautiful outdoor private patio from where we were lucky enough to spot 2 elephant! My... More

I stayed in Shishangeni Private Lodge for a week-end in January 2011. Overall a very good stay: the safari tours were with a very good guide, small groups and great views. The lodge in itself is comfortable, even though not the 5 stars we were promised by the travel agency. Great pool, very good food too. Definitelly recommended! More
