This Is Africa
Fortunately, the Shambala Game Reserve isn't like one of those cloned Westernised resorts that fools guests into thinking they aren't in Africa; stone walls, rough timber and indigenous timber make up the authentic interiors, meaning guests enjoy all that Africa has to offer in true five-star comfort. Opening this month, the reserve is spread over 2,965 glorious acres in the heart of the Waterberg Mountains. Once a private residence, the villa-style Steyn House acts as the centre of the resort, offering fine-dining, on-site entertainment and a breathtaking view over Douw Steyn Dam. Guests stay at one of the seven well-appointed chalets dotted around the main house, all of which feature oversized bedrooms with dressing areas, indoor baths with two showers, outdoor shower, and large balconies with views out over a shimmering lake. There's also an on-site spa area where guests can be pampered and preened within an inch of their lives with the best Elemis and Africology treatments money can buy. Positioned so that guests can enjoy the Big Five - lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes and rhinoceroses - the Shambala Game Reserve enables visitors to experience Africa in true Gunpowder-approved fashion.
