Cottages in Mbombela

"The staff, the kitchen, the cuisine. the novelty of the train on the Bridge pales in comparison to the service, the atmosphere, and the attention to detail that this uber safari lodge offers. While not inexpensive I can't imagine having a more elevated experience at other lodges costing double and triple what shalati charges. I was blown away .."

"Excellent lodge would recommend. Staff great, Safaris were good the only issue i had was the evening meals were always a buffet and the selection and quality was not that good. Would have preffered a menu to choose from."

"My family and I stayed in one of the two-bedroom chalets. The property was clean and well maintained. Dining at the resort restaurant was good and reasonably priced. Overall a very comfortable night's stay."

"Room was spotless, staff were amazing. Beautiful location and our safaris booked through the resort could not have been better. We had a massage at the spa and a pedicure which were both also very good. All in all we had the most fantastic time and I can’t wait to come back. "

"Just beautiful "

"Everything was great, staff welcoming, room great and location perfect.. "

"Nice place with magnificent people, always friendly and helpful. Room has everything you need."

"IF you want to see animals this is your place. The ride from the Safari Lodge along the Sabi river takes about an hour in each direction and you'll see more animals then you've ever seen in your life! Truly. Majestic. Awesome trip. You don't need more than a couple or few days unless you want a safari experience and stay in expensive tents etc. This place is perfect for the casual traveler who wants to see animals animals and more animals. Heavenly! And the lodge is perfect like a vacation place not a safari place. "

"Elephants, hippos and monkeys right outside of door. It was a peaceful and beautiful experience. The staff were the best I’ve ever encountered in my travels. Absolutely genuine and beautiful people. A new resort that is still flying under the radar. Take advantage of it while you can. "
