Sashwa River of Stars
“Safaris for the Soul”
Sashwa River of Stars is a luxury safari retreat on a private game reserve within the Greater Kruger in South Africa. Nestled on the banks of the Olifants River, where the daily flow of wildlife can be witnessed on the floodplain below, our lodge provides a tranquil sanctuary for transformative safaris, combining wildlife experiences with holistic wellness.
The lodge features ten suites blending seamlessly with the natural surrounds, offering stunning views of wildlife and the river. Immerse yourself in the African wilderness with experiences ranging from safari drives and wilderness walks to nature yoga, breathwork and art therapy. Facilities encompass a Wholeness Center with sauna, gym and spa rooms, a creative studio, swimming pool, various yoga and meditation spaces as well as a garden-to-table restaurant and various indoor and outdoor relaxation areas.
Operating as a social enterprise, Sashwa reinvests profits directly into their conservation and community initiatives, namely with their partnership with non-profit community project Koru Camp located on the same reserve. Additionally, the lodge operates fully on solar power, has its own organic permaculture garden, filters its own mineral water on-site and only uses biodegradable and eco-friendly products. With sustainability and deep love for nature and all beings as their inspiration, they are passionate about serving nourishing plant-based, garden-to-table inspired cuisine in their kitchen, using many of their own on-site grown ingredients; the first of it’s kind in the African Wilderness.
Sashwa’s ethos is centered around the power of nature and profound wildlife experiences to heal, inspire, and transform. Whether you seek a soul filled safari or wellness in the wilderness, our unique and holistic blend of immersive experiences promises to awaken your senses, nourish your soul, and leave you forever changed.
