Nestled in the southern range of the magnificent Waterberg Mountains, Shakama awaits you. Less than 2 hours drive from Johannesburg and Johannesburg International.

Shakama is a privately owned game farm. The farm covers 640 hectares of natural landscape and lies in the centre of over 10 000 hectares of bushveld ranches.

Accommodation
The rustic yet elegant accommodation consists of ten fully serviced thatched suites with bathrooms en-suite. Six of these suites also have outdoor showers in addition to the bathrooms. All suites have private decks overlooking a ravine of unspoilt nature.

The lodge and suites are built against a slope - as a result stairs between different floor levels were unavoidable. The accommodation may therefore not be suitable for persons in wheelchairs.

A self-catering camp consisting of two en-suite "split level" cottages, communal kitchen and lapa completes the circle. This camp, named "Eagles Nest", sleeps up to 10 persons (sharing) and is only rented as a unit on either a self-catering or accommodation only basis.

Entertainment
A full bar, lounge and dining area opening up onto a large wooden deck are the focal point of social activities.

Wildlife
The owners have embarked on a programme, based on ecological study, to breed a number of indigenous game species. Right now there are over 15 species of game already roaming the farm including Zebra and (the elusive) Leopard. Shakama is also home to a host of bird species, which is bound to intrigue the avid bird watcher. Game drives can also be extended (subject to prior
arrangement) to visit the adjoining farm, to view Buffalo and Hippo (amongst other exotic species). Shakama is ideally suited for eco-tourism offering clear views of game and an endless variety of natural habitat.

Spa
Spoil yourself and experience true relaxation and rejuvenation at the spa. The Shakama Wellness Centre consists of a gym, sauna, jacuzzi and therapy rooms. Reserve your special treatment and be pampered whilst enjoying the sounds of nature.

Conferences
The Induna room offers the ideal setting for meetings (boardroom style) or seminars (classroom style) with white boards, overhead projector, screens, TV and VCR. This conference room offers comfortable seating for up to 30 delegates with top quality facilities and an atmosphere to stimulate any conference activity. The lodge area also offers comfortable seating areas for four break-away groups - and of course, lots of space outdoors.
