Recently I had the privilege of hosting our Kruger Photo Safari, which takes place in the very well kept secret that is Camp Shawu.
Camp Shawu is situated in the Southern section of the Kruger National Park, in the private Shishangeni Concession which stretches a good 15 000ha.  The concession is beautifully located with the Crocodile River running through the southern section and the Lebombo mountains to the East. Only a 30 min drive after entering the Croc Bridge gate, it is an easy location to get to, and yet so few people know about this hidden gem

One evening as we started heading back to Camp with the excitement of the afternoons sightings still fresh in our minds, we came across these 8 Male Lions all lying on the dam wall in front of Camp Shawu

Our dreams came true when 05:00am the next morning we heard a roar…  It started with one, then two and the next minute the sound of 8 Male Lions roaring surrounded Camp Shawu.  It goes without saying that nobody needed any motivation to get out of bed, grab a cub of coffee and head out as soon as possible to view these incredible beasts.
