Shashani Lodge is situated on a private game reserve only a short drive away from Plumtree and approximately an hour’s drive from Bulawayo on the border of Matobo National Park. Ancient rock paintings and a historical grain-bin site are a morning’s stroll away. You can watch many species of plains game from the lodge.
10 individual en-suite lodges are spaced widely on the edge of a huge rock dome with views over a wooded valley and the characteristic Matobo granite hills. All rooms are comfortably furnished and have private verandas.
The main building has a comfortable lounge and bar with adjoining dining room, all open-fronted towards the breathtaking view. A large fireplace takes the chill out of winter evenings. The swimming pool is ideally placed to gather the sun’s warmth and to offer beautiful views over the surrounding landscape whilst relaxing.
In less than an hour’s drive through beautiful landscape, you can visit the iconic giraffe paintings at Nswatugi Cave or Worlds View and Cecil Rhodes’ Grave.
A separate site is available for overland trucks and 4×4 travellers, with its own lounge, bar and pool as well as some permanent tents
