Welcome to Samanzi

The third of Shongwe Selection’s award-winning lodges, Samanzi offers you easy, barefoot luxury. Our fifteen cabana-styled rooms provide private access to central pools which cascade over three tiers to create intimacy, and a playful sense of fun. Order a drink at our swim-up bar without ever having to leave the water, soak out aches and pains in our bar-side jacuzzi, or kick back and soak up the sunshine on any of our many decks and islands.

At Samanzi you’ll find shelter from the heat of the day, gourmet cuisine designed to satisfy any appetite, a private wine cellar dining experience on request and service that always comes with a smile.
