Invest in a luxury bushveld retreat on the banks of the Crocodile River where the views are spectacular and myriad wildlife come for a drink at dawn
Close to the southern border of the world-renowned Kruger National Park and next to the meandering Crocodile River lies Shawu’s Hills Wildlife Estate. Named after one of the park’s biggest elephants who once roamed the area, the estate is a wildlife haven: home to a variety of birdlife, crocodiles and buck, and Africa’s crown jewels – the Big Five. Mornings at Shawu’s Hills Wildlife Estate are especially alive with the sounds of sunbirds and kingfishers.
PRIDE OF PLACE
Although it’s the wildlife that makes Africa a magic place, the area where the impressive Shawu’s Hills Wildlife Estate will be built is also unique in itself. As the Crocodile River meanders westwards closer to the Mozambique border, it forms a peninsula that juts right into the Kruger National Park. It’s here, on this peninsula that was once part of a farm, where the estate will be constructed.
LAIR OF LUXURY
Consisting of timeless, elegant and sophisticated lodges, cabins and recreational buildings, Shawu’s Hills echoes the design philosophy of its creators, Boss Architects, renowned for their unique take on maximising location, optimising views and natural light, and capturing the essence of space and place.
The estate’s sleek, contemporary aesthetic magnifies the bushveld’s untamed beauty with the structure itself complementing the natural surroundings. The environment’s raw textures and forms mirror the lodge’s and cabins’ timber ceilings and screeded floors.
The bounded floor-to-ceiling glass panels open to large private verandas and an infinity pool reflects the riverine vistas beyond. Imagine looking out from your deck over your private rim-flow pool and drinking in the splendour of the African bush.
SAFETY AND RECREATION
The estate offers sophisticated state-of-the-art artificial intelligence security and top-tier amenities. The recreational area is set in beautifully landscaped gardens and includes a restaurant, art gallery, farmers’ market, a children’s play area and auditorium.
For Shawu’s Hills Wildlife Estate sustainability is of major importance. This sees them working closely with NuLeaf Planning & Environmental to assist them in implementing integrated ecological solutions to protect the environment and ensure compliance with legislation.
