Shimuwini
Shimuwini is a dreamy wilderness in the Kruger National Park where the Letabe river meanders through rich plains of golden veldt and baobab trees thought to be older than 2 000 years. Imagine the setting: your own private cottages set amidst baobab trees that appear as if their roots point to the sky; a timid eland comes to the water's edge to drink off a cool draught from the river. You look out while enjoying your morning coffee. Feeling refreshed, breathing in the African air, you commence your day of game viewing with an armed ranger as your guide on a game drive. You see lions basking in the sun; their golden-coats merging them with the landscape. Giraffe pop their heads above the trees, squelching on the green muck of leaves. Baboons and their young scurry about, casting furtive glances as they meander through the bush.
All the while you have been enjoying a uniquely African experience, with panoramic views and close up encounters with some of Africa's greatest beasts, such as leopard, cheetah, giraffes and more. The sun begins to set, casting an orange glow on the horizon, bringing another beautiful African day to a close. Night begins to fall and the vast African sky is tinged with the dark blue and purple fusion of colour. The bush becomes alive with the hollow call of the hyaena. A roaring camp fire rages within your camp. You gather to tell stories and listen to the ancient African folk lore and tales of the bush. At night, you sink into luxury bedding and awake to yet another glorious day at Shimuwini in the Kruger National Park.
