Shibula Lodge and Bush Spa, is a five star accredited lodge in the big 5 Welgevonden Private Game Reserve in the Limpopo Province, South Africa. This malaria free rugged wilderness was an area where Paul Kruger, founder of the Kruger National Park, had allocated farmland to argumentative politicians to keep them occupied. Our Lodge offers the discerning visitor Africa in all its untamed magnificence, along with truly superb standards of warm hospitality.
Voted by Getaway Travel Magazine as "one of the top 10 most romantic destinations in South Africa", by Elle as one of the "Pick of the Best Bush Lodges" and by Sarie as "Elegant in the bush" Shibula is a wonderful sanctuary in the bush.
