Wildlife at the Shakama Game Reserve, Waterberg region
The five star Shakama Game Lodge nestles in the heart of the 5000 hectare Waterberg Estate Reserve which is home to abundant game and bird life.
This game reserve in South Africa does not offer the 'Big 5' as yet, but rhino, hippo and over 20 other indigenous game species roam this nature estate. The Shakama Lodge is ideally suited for eco-tourism offering clear views of game and an endless variety of natural habitat.
Nearby Golf courses
Bela-Bela and surrounding area is becoming the bushveld golfing Mecca in South Africa with two world class golf courses already opened and 3 more underway.
Shakama is in close proximity of the Elements Golf Reserve and the Zebula Country Club (previously known as Mabalingwe Golf course) and two other soon to be announced.
The location and facilities at Shakama makes it the perfect choice for golfers who wish to play at any of these courses and be pampered with a massage at the lodge's spa and a sumptuous dinner at the end of a day out on the course.
