Shumba Shaba

Situated in the tranquil Matopo Hills, South of the city of Bulawayo, Shumba Shaba welcomes you. We offer unique and eco-friendly accommodation, along with hearty meals and stunning surroundings. We also have activities for you to enjoy, such as horseback riding and lessons, an idyllic dam nestled amongst the natural boulders to relax by, and trails of varying degrees of difficulty, which lead you through beautiful flora, over rocks and hills, and alongside caves with genuine bushman paintings.

The lodge was originally an old farmhouse, and the main dining room is built around huge natural granite rocks. We have integrated our lodges into the natural surroundings as much as possible, utilising nature’s assets, and maintaining the feel of being a part of nature.

Bulawayo is only an hours drive away, with its scenic jacaranda-lined streets, the Natural History Museum, and City Hall and Art Gallery market filled with unique local artworks.
