Feedback from our guests

A truly magical experience

An incredible place, loved everything about it, a truly magical experience. The game drives were fantastic, we saw more than I had imagined (including the ‘big 5’) every drive. The food was exceptional and the service exemplary! A lovely intimate lodge with serene views over the riverbed and a water hole.
The atmosphere is tranquil and relaxed. Highly highly recommended for first time visitors as well as seasoned travelers.

Shangri-la

Just returned from a fantastic trip to Shimungwe. The intimate lodge is the perfect place to relax between game drives. Accomodation is perfect. All the staff are very friendly and will look after you well. Food delicious. A lovely pool to relax and cool off in. A very special place.

Lovely intimate lodge with excellent game viewing

Stayed at Shimungwe for 3 nights in August 2023. Lovely room overlooking a (then) dry river bed that's a game highway. Great food from a family kitchen, chef easily met dietary requirements for me. Beautiful firepit and pool area. Fenced property so you are able to walk to you room at dusk and dawn. Game drives were great, with knowledgeable tracker and super guide. Best lion sightings! They really spoil you at Shimungwe.
