Shayamoya Game & Fishing Lodge in Pongola, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa | Lodge

"From the wide wooden deck at the heart of Shayamoya, you look out across the Pongolapoort Lake (also known as Jozini), the Lebombo Mountains and the Phongolo Nature Reserve. Vast stretches of silver water, charcoal-coloured mountains, apricot sunsets.. this is the stuff of romantic lakeside dreams.

Shayamoya is built entirely from natural materials and blends deliciously into its wild surroundings. There are ten thatch and wood chalets here, decorated in a simple African style (wooden furniture, washstands with ceramic basins and more.)"
