Hotel details

Wellness in the wilderness: Time seems to stand still at Sashwa River of Stars, a luxurious safari retreat on the banks of the Olifants River in Kruger National Park. Each day, nature’s full splendor unfolds on the floodplains stretching before you.

Where you are going...
Sashwa River of Stars is set within a private nature reserve in Greater Kruger National Park, right on the banks of the Olifants (Elephants) River. The lodge is just over an hour’s drive from Hoedspruit International Airport, which offers daily connections to Cape Town International Airport or Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg.

Why you’ll love it...
Sashwa believes in the incredible power of nature and wilderness to heal, inspire, and transform. Here, you are fully immersed in untamed nature, surrounded by Africa’s legendary Big Five—lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffalos. Witnessing these majestic animals in the wild is truly unforgettable. The South African wilderness is not only a sanctuary for these magnificent creatures but also for those seeking to reconnect with the natural rhythm of life. At Sashwa, holistic therapies, activities, and experiences awaken your senses and nourish your soul.
