Shawa Luangwa Camp

Shawa Luangwa Camp

Nsefu Sector

Named after the legendary Zambian tracker and Safari guide Jacob Shawa, Shawa Luangwa Camp is a small, eco-friendly bush camp overlooking the Luangwa River in the Nsefu Sector. This is one of the park’s most untouched areas where excellent year-round game viewing and astonishing habitat diversity make it ideal for safaris by foot and vehicle.

Each of our 4 Luxury Safari Tents is individually styled for a modern under-canvas experience on the banks of the Luangwa River. The tents consist of three Couples Tents and a spacious Family Tent.

The camp enjoys an excellent position overlooking the nearby river, a comfortable and welcoming main area for dining and socialising and a small pool

Activities are varied and based around game drives, using electric 4x4 vehicles and these are conducted as silently as possible, and with minimal impact on the environment. As the birthplace of the walking safari, South Luangwa beckons you to step out into the bush with one of the camp's knowledgeable guides and to fall in love with this wild and precious place.

The Three Boutique Hotel

Cape Town

The hotel is situated on Thesen Island and is a clever reinvention of a former power station. Throughout the hotel, you'll find reminders of its past, and clever use of architecture and design has transformed the building into a very comfortable place to stay. 

There is a cafe and bar, swimming pool, spa, a gym close by, parking and of course, there are plenty of things to do in the surrounding area including boat trips, nature reserves, nature walks and much more besides. A sunset cruise is not to be missed and if you're in the right season whale watching can also be arranged. 

The bright and comfortable rooms are all air-conditioned and have a balcony/deck, WiFi, minibar and television.

The Turbine Hotel

Knysna

Set right on the promenade in Sea Point, this beautiful old hotel is something of a local landmark. This splendid 1920's Cape Dutch building sits between the mountains and the sea. The terrace is the ideal please to sit with a coffee, or something stronger, and watch the world go by and enjoy the vibrant beach scene which is right in front of the hotel. 

There's an excellent restaurant and popular courtyard bar, there's also a beautiful spa which is very welcome after a busy day shopping or sightseeing. The rooms all have air conditioning, television, minibar and safe, loft rooms overlook the courtyard or table mountain and classic rooms are equally spacious although do not have a view of the sea.

How our Tent Ratings work

​

These are based on our personal experience of the hotel, camp or lodge and should not be compared against ratings you find elsewhere. We intend to guide you and don’t be put off by a low tent rating as some of our favourites fall into the 2 and 3-tent categories.​

​

It is also important to bear in mind that standards vary from country to country and a 4-tent hotel in South Africa cannot be compared with a 4-tent hotel in another part of the world. 

To summarise our grading system, we have considered the following.
