Location
Between Grahamstown and Port Elizabeth lies a property like no other. It’s like stepping into a New World, one where wild animals are respected and where nature breaks all the rules and happily interacts with luxury to bring you Shamwari Private Game Reserve.
Shamwari means friend, and is home to the Big Five. Offering great viewing combined with awesome service and beautiful accommodation, not to mention mouth-watering food.
Led by qualified guides who know this property like the back of their hand, in an open landrover you have the opportunity to spot game in the morning and evening. And just because it gets dark doesn’t mean you have to turn around. Shamwari rangers are equipped with hand-held lights to sweep the field while you look out for the telltale sign of gleaming eyes.
Back at the lodge enjoy a welcome drink while swapping war stories of sightings on Safari, which your guide regales you with local stories. Having worked up an appetite it’s time for that great food mentioned. Prepared with care by the chef or enjoy a barbeque at the riverside.
Having completed a very exciting day, drift away into dreamland in the comfortable accommodation provided.
Shamwari has four lodges, including two smaller, less expensive self-catering options that sleep a maximum of six guests.
