Shawa River of Stars
Set along the banks of the Olifants River in South Africa’s Greater Kruger National Park, Sashwa River of Stars is more than a bush lodge, it’s a soulful sanctuary where the wonders of nature align with purpose-driven journeys. Named for the way the river reflects the Milky Way above, Sashwa invites guests into deep communion with wilderness: where herds of elephants gather along the Olifants River just beyond the lodge, the night echoes with the roar of lions beneath a starlit sky, and the rhythms of the bush gently guide each day.
Sashwa offers an immersive experience where mindfulness, wellness, connection, and conservation come together in harmony. From thoughtfully designed suites and daily yoga and meditation, to nourishing spa treatments, vibrant plant-based cuisine, and saltwater swims while watching wildlife meander by. Every detail is crafted to restore, inspire, and reconnect. At its heart lies a purpose-driven ethos: through its social enterprise model and community-based Koru Camp, Sashwa empowers local people, protects wild spaces, and nurtures a more equitable future. Whether you seek stillness, restoration, or transformation, Sashwa is a place to reconnect with yourself, with the land, and with something far greater.
