Has been voted as "one of the top 10 most romantic destinations in South Africa" by Getaway Travel magazine, by Elle as one of the "Pick of the Best Bush Lodges" and by Sarie as "Elegant in the bush" Shibula is a marvelous sanctuary in the bush. The name "Shibula" meaning 'Wild Lady', was given to a Black Rhino who was reclaimed from an European Zoo, brought back to South Africa and became the world's first rhino to have calves after her return to the wild. The lodge was designed with a theme for a lady in the bush with sophisticated elegance in all its interiors and exteriors.

Home to the Big 5 and more than 350 species of bird, this magnificent reserve offers travelers a genuine African safari experience in the untamed bush. Whether guests desire a place to unwind and experience peace of mind, body and soul, or feel exhilarated outdoors, Shibula's friendly staff is there to provide the guest with excellent service.
