Suggested Duration: 4 hours

Shewula Mountain Camp, located in the Lubombo Mountains, is the first community-based eco-tourism project in Eswatini and one of the most successful in southern Africa. Fully owned and operated by the local community, the camp shares its profits to support ongoing development and improvements in the area. Offering stunning panoramic views stretching 100 km across Eswatini, the camp overlooks the Mbuluzi, Mlawula, and Hlane game parks, with Maputo visible on clear days. Established in 2000, it caters to cultural tourists, families, nature enthusiasts, and those seeking a peaceful retreat. Guests can enjoy local music and dance, scenic nature walks, mountain biking, and breathtaking sunsets. Access is possible by car, though roads can be challenging during the rainy season. The camp is also a malaria area, so precautions are recommended.

shewula was an amazing experience. my group and i didn't so much research beforehand so no power in the room was a surprise! but there was a charging place in the kitchen The staff was amazing and well accommodating. They made amazing food. We even took the opportunity to cook with them and learned how to cook some of the local dishes. The food satisfied my soul. Homecooked with care. I miss it everyday since leaving. The view from the top of the mountain was beautiful. The sunset was the best. It was quite chilly in the evenings, so make sure to bring some light layers for dinner time especially! But make sure to bring enough cash to not only pay for your stay and meals, but for souvenirs and tips for community members as part of the village walk, cultural dance, and the hike.

The most incredible camp!! The community is some of the kindest people you will ever meet, the food is absolutely incredible, and the view overlooking Swaziland the whole way to Mozambique is hard to put into words! We had the most wonderful time there and hope we can visit again someday soon!!

A great experience! A basic stay but the atmosphere was so nice. Worth a stay and you can tie it with a visit to the local safari park.
