We have been on many safari's however this was our first time at this lodge. If you want a truly rustic, private safari experience, this is the place! It is a small lodge with 4 double rooms, overlooking a river - which went from dry to a full flowing river while we were there! Game viewing was exceptional - 4 different leopards, a pride of lions, large herds of elephants and buffalo. Our guide Lucan and Daniel his tracker brother were excellent. Their knowledge of that area, the animals and flora/fauna in general was amazing. Zanele, Karly, Megee(sorry about the spelling) and the rest of the small team, were very accommodating, nothing was too much trouble. Food was delicious and plentiful, rooms clean and tidy. If you're looking for a true safari experience where you want to be at one with nature and the bush, this is the place. Very, very good value for money. We have stayed at lodges costing 4 times as much, Shimungwe is up there with them in terms of game viewing and service. We would definitely visit again.
