This community-run place 37km northeast of Simunye in the Lebombo Mountains (21km on tarred road and 16km on dirt road; turn at signs indicating Shewula) is a marvellous 'stop the world and get off' place. Accommodation is pretty basic – you can camp or there are stone-and-thatch rondavels (no electricity) with shared ablutions (three have bathrooms).
It’s wonderful to be able to enjoy the jaw-dropping views and get a taste of rural life. Activities include guided cultural walks to nearby villages. Local meals can also be arranged.
