Shamvura Camp offers six different accommodation possibilities. All units have spacious shaded parking areas
and all-weather roads leading to them.
Tree Top Cottage:
Elevated on a raised platform in the forested area giving a splendid view of the forest from its spacious veranda.
It has one large main bedroom with a double bed, ceiling fan and en suite bathroom. In the corner of the
open-plan dining/kitchen/lounge area there is a comfortable studio couch, which makes up two additional beds,
with a bedside lamp and shelf which although not private is quite cosy. There is also space on the veranda for at
least one or two more beds/stretchers. The kitchen is fully equipped with crockery and cutlery for six people and
includes a fridge/freezer and stove. There is also a private enclosed grassed braai area with wood provided.
The cottage is supplied with electricity.
Maroela Tent: (2-bed unit) The tent is raised on a wooden platform with a large, spacious covered veranda and an excellent view of
the river from behind the forest fringe. It is situated next to a large Maroela tree (hence the name) and has
a large enclosed grassed braai area with firewood provided. There is a large parking and turning area partially
enclosed. No electricity, but battery lamps, fresh drinking water, mozzi nets and mosquito repellents are
provided.
Combretum Tent: (3 - 4 bed unit) Is on a cement base slightly raised with a covered veranda. The ablution facility is not en suite but close and
there is a braai area. This tent is situated under a very large Combretum colonum tree and has dense shade,
with the whole unit and parking area enclosed with reed and pole fences. This site offers a good view of the
Angolan floodplains. There is no electricity but battery lamps, fresh drinking water, mozzi nets and mosquito
repellents are provided.
Mangetti Tent: (3 - 4 bed unit) Raised on a wooden platform with a veranda offering a good view of the Angolan floodplains. Shower facilities
en suite. Mangetti has its own grassed and enclosed braai area with a partially enclosed large parking and
turning area for vehicles. No electricity, but battery lamps, fresh drinking water, mozzi nets and mosquito
repellents are provided.
Ushivi Tent: (4-bed unit) Is near the main complex with a large, very spacious reed enclosed area giving absolute privacy,
but unfortunately no view. A braai area with firewood and outside lighting with fully equipped kitchen, crockery
and cutlery for up to 8 people are available within this enclosed area. A fridge/freezer and stove is provided.
It has ablution facilities within the enclosed area. Ushivi has electricity and a plug point. Fresh drinking water,
mozzi nets and mosquito repellents are provided. This unit also has an adjoining "guides nook" with its own
electrical point.
Camping: Is available at either Ushivi or Combretum, which have outside ablution facilities. The extensive enclosed parking
areas allows for the erection of additional tents etc. These facilities are only available when the main tents are
not occupied and are only offered to guests making use of our additional activities, or groups of
more than 4 persons.
