Nelson Mandela Villa

The Nelson Mandela Villa offers spacious and elegant accommodation within Shambala Private Game Reserve. Inspired by this legacy and by his deep friendship with the former President, Douw Steyn commissioned the building of the Nelson Mandela Centre for Reconciliation on Shambala Private Game Reserve. This special retreat gave Mr Mandela the opportunity to work uninterrupted in peace and solitude, and would provide him with the space and tranquillity to strengthen his considerable efforts towards global and local reconciliation. Situated on 10,000 hectares in the Limpopo Province, a mere 2½ hour drive or 45 minute helicopter ride from Johannesburg, Zulu Camp at Shambala Private Game Reserve is set under the watchful guardianship of the picturesque, malaria-free Waterberg mountains, and the magnificent African bushveld is home to a variety of remarkable flora and fauna including The Big Five.
