The 4-star Shishangeni by BON Hotels located on the private Mpanamana concession within the Kruger National Park, South Africa has added Shishangeni Bush Walks to its list of things to do.

This new excursion has been welcomed with much excitement and interest by visitors and guests looking to engage in the ultimate African encounter.

The world-renowned Kruger National Park offers a wildlife experience that ranks with the best in Africa and is well known for the 'Big Five'.

In addition to the Lodge’s early morning and late afternoon game drives with an expert guide, and the more than 500 species of birds the bird watchers can ogle, the bush walks bring guests closer to nature than ever before.

The walk at sunrise is most popular, ending in a bush breakfast under the rising sun and, if that is too early for you, an afternoon walk is also a must with a light snack break on the way.

With safety being paramount, two highly trained armed guides positioned ahead and behind lead the groups in single file formation, an arm-distance apart from each.

A de-briefing is given before setting out and guests are advised to wear comfortable shoes, long pants, neutral colours and no shiny jewellery. Talking is not recommended.

These bush walks enable guests to connect with nature more than ever before. Guests ‘take a walk on the wild side’ and get bitten by the love of the bush.

Shishangeni is legendary when it comes to experiencing unforgettable African safaris that evoke mystery, wonder and adventure. Its camps offer big five game viewing and superior services.
