What we love about Shamwari Sarili Lodge
- Ask one of the hosts to tell you the intriguing story of the 19th century Xhosa chief that the lodge is named after.
- Relax on the broad viewing deck after dinner and listen to a family of hippo grunting in the river below.
- On a cool winter’s morning, be sure to warm up with a cup of the lodge’s famous hot chocolate.
