Shingwedzi Chalet

The Shingwedzi Chalet is considered the lodge’s most prized chalet and sleeps up to four guests. A very beautiful and well-equipped open-plan kitchen and lounge, with comfortable leather armchairs, ensure that visitors are content while a large and well-laid out master bedroom offers a small balcony; ideal for taking in the majestic views.

The private boma, plunge pool and veranda all add to the sublime experience and provide the perfect vantage points for the idyllic views.  A well situated spotlight allows for the spotting of nocturnal animals.

Located towards the back of the lush gardens, the great Shingwedzi Garden Suite is at the top of a set of stairs.  Offering a king-sized bed, facing sliding doors that open onto the balcony, the chalet offers visitors delightful early mornings filled with the soft sounds of the mourning doves and incredibly scenic views. The chalet is equipped with coffee and tea making facilities and is stocked with ground coffee, tea, sugar and milk.

The luxurious king-sized bed and comfy leather chairs face an enormous window that looks out onto the river below ensuring that visitors experience the awesomeness that surrounds them.
