| Shayamoya/Shayamanzi - South Africa |
Location & FacilitiesShayamoya Lodge A truly unique lodge in Northern KwaZulu Natal where you are welcomed like an old friend. Privately owned and managed by the Blevin family who have lived in the area for many years, Shayamoya exudes a warm and friendly atmosphere. Tiger fishing is the lodge's speciality. The lake is the only water in South Africa that is home to the combative tiger fish but if fishing is not your bag, there are plenty of activities at Shayamoya. The tastefully appointed chalets are built in harmony with the environment.  There are 8 standard chalets, which are appointed with stylish elegance. You can relax on your private deck and observe the curious behaviour of the scarlet-breasted sunbird or have a visit from our resident Spotted Eagle Owl, Nandi. The enthusiastic team of staff will go out of their way to make your stay one of the best you will ever experience. Shayamanzi (House Boat) Take time out to appreciate Africa's special wonders! Northern KwaZulu Natal has many natural and splendid beauties, but little can compare with the superb wildlife to be seen on the shores of Lake Jozini (also known as Pongolapoort Lake). On board Shayamanzi, soak up the stunning scenery of the Lebombo Mountains and Pongola Game Reserve. From the tender boats, which accompany Shayamanzi, experience the thrill and excitement of tiger fishing and superb game viewing. Shayamanzi is an 80-foot (24 meter) double pontooned, luxurious houseboat where passengers enjoy different anchorages each evening. There are 6 cabins, which are en-suite with shower and toilet.
