Shaba National Reserve

Shaba is a beautiful place in terms of scenery, although we didn't see any wildlife apart from a crocodile. It is incredibly hot.

Tranquil wildlife experience

Excelent accomodation, ample food and good variation of courses. Fine vararity of wildlife within short transport distance. Few tourists in this area, thus the best Bush vibe here.

Back for a Second Visit

We found Shaba and its sister reserves in the area much drier parks than the others we have visited further south, though no less plentiful places for animals. On both occasions in 2007 and again this year we stayed at the Sarova Shaba Lodge. This was well worth the tourist dollars though there are several lodges of equal calibre throughout the general area in and out of the three parks we visited in that region.
