What made our stays at both The Saxon Hotel Villas & Spa and Shambala Zulu Camp was the history and proximity of both retreats. Just a couple hours drive from Sandton in a private chauffeured car provided by Saxon Villa, you are immediately immersed in the anticipation of seeing some of South Africa’s most treasured wildlife. You can’t resist the excitement nor the love and devotion of former South African president and Nobel Prize-winner Nelson Mandela who chose the Saxon as his sanctuary in which to complete his autobiography, Long Walk to Freedom.
