Shambala Game Reserve is located northwest of Johannesburg and Pretoria, about 2.5 hours comfortable drive. Shambala is situated in the picturesque central region of the breathtaking Waterberg mountain range, which forms the northern ridge of what is known in geographical terms as the massive Bushveld Igneous Complex, the largest flat-bottomed basin in the world. This bushveld area is rich in mineral deposits below the reddish soil of the undulating expanse of virgin savanna landscape densely covered with indigenous trees and shrubs. The climate is sub tropical and pleasantly temperate for most of the year. In this idyllic setting, Shambala Game Reserve epitomizes Paradise on Earth. Shambala Private Game Reserve covers almost 12000 hectares of natural landscape in South Africas Limpopo province and is home to a rich diversity of magnificent wildlife, including the Big five (leopard, lion, elephant, rhino and buffalo). In this prime malaria-free bush land area, Shambala represents a significant conservation effort of immense proportions.
