Sashwa River of Stars
Safari for the soul
There is a place where time stands still and the magic of Nature unfolds in front of your eyes. A place where a river flows and sparkling sunlight creates starlight in its waters. Welcome to Sashwa River of Stars. Welcome Home.
Our carefully curated safari retreat is nestled in the wilderness of the renowned Greater Kruger National Park. Perched on the banks of the Olifants River, where the daily flow of wildlife can be witnessed on the floodplain below, our lodge offers a rare, tranquil sanctuary—with the freedom of a fenced camp—for a truly transformative safari experience.
At Sashwa, we believe in the inherent power of Nature — and the profound experiences it offers — to heal, inspire, and transform. Whether you’re drawn to a soul-stirring safari or seeking wellness in the wilderness, our holistic blend of immersive experiences is designed to awaken your senses, nourish your spirit, and leave you forever changed.

Our Reviews
So much thought and care has gone into making Sashwa what it is. We felt nourished, nurtured and inspired. The vegan food was absolutely delicious. Practicing yoga right on the banks of the Olifants River was a dream come true. The peace and quiet within the camp was an absolute privilege. I highly recommend this special African experience.

If you want to escape to gentle serenity and luxury comforts, Sashwa River of Stars ticks all the boxes. Genuinely friendly staff, excellent service, delicious plant based meals, fascinating bush walks and game drives, and excellent yoga and meditation options. Top of my list for a soul safari. I’d recommend it without hesitation.

Sashwa is truly a retreat from the moment you walk in you the energy of rest and relaxation. The spa, the meditation room, and sunrise yoga was the perfect reset. Such an ideal place to recharge you batteries, the food was vegan and so tastey. Highly recommend this I will be back.
