Overall
Our stay at Shamwari from 20th to 22nd July
The experience was marvellous with the game drives being the focal point of our stay. Our ranger, Darryn, was extremely knowledgeable and was persistent in ensuring we got the best possible chance to view as many of the animals as possible.
The accommodation, quality of food and service were excellent. The bedrooms were luxurious. The staff couldn't do enough for you and were very attentive and efficient without being over elaborate. The food was very well prepared and varied.

Apart from the two Land Rover breakdowns that we endured on our first game drive! (which the staff handled very well), the experience was fantastic. For someone without much time (we only stayed for one night) you get to see a lot of game in just two game drives, from the pride of lions, wild dogs, elephants, giraffes and antelope. We didn't get to see buffalo or the elusive Hippo (despite the great effort of our knowledgable and lovely guide). Would recommend the luxury tented camp fo ... more

Description
A favourite amongst international celebrities including royalty, Shamwari Private Game Reserve is home to the coveted Big Five. Situated close to Port Elizabeth, in the malaria-free Eastern Cape province of South Africa, Shamwari Game Reserve offers an unsurpassed nature experience. In an area blessed by the convergence of 5 eco-systems, it's a natural habitat for all types of wildlife makes it the ideal viewing reserve, for not only the Big Five flourish here, but so does a large variety of antelope and smaller wildlife, as well as about 300 species of birds. Shamwari boasts seven very different 5-star lodges all of which boast every world-class amenity, including outstanding service and cuisine: Long Lee Manor, a gracious Edwardian mansion was built by descendants of one of the Settlers. Reminiscent of a bygone era, it offers not only the gracious living of that age but also its uncompromisingly high standards of service. The tented riverine luxury of Bayethe Lodge promises a completely different African bush adventure, where guests are welcomed with the traditional greeting "Bayethe Nkosi" ("I salute you, great one"), and can indulge themselves in twin-bedded suites with outdoor showers, private plunge pools and decks. Tucked away in a secluded valley, the thatched and ethnically decorated Lobengula Lodge also exudes indigenous hospitality - and is everyone's dream of bushveld serenity! Riverdene Lodge, a restored settler's home, exemplifies elegance in the wild. Recently renovated to accommodate families, it also offers a unique children's programme, including playrooms, sports activities and educational game drives and tours of the Born Free Rescue Centres. Lying alongside the river itself, Bushman's River Lodge has spectacular views and is the epitome of intimate hospitality; its fully inclusive service even includes your very own chef and private game ranger! SARILI Lodge With African travel becoming a family affair, Shamwari Game Reserve will open Sarili, a new luxury lodge exclusively for families. The lodge consists of five suites and can sleep a maximum of ten (10) guests. The lodge features a child friendly swimming pool, dining and lounge areas and children’s den, courtyard barbeque area, special children’s menu and dedicated child minders. And finally, there's Eagles Crag Lodge. Built from stone and glass, and topped with thatch, this is a place of tranquility where guests can relax in luxury while watching the eagles soar. But no matter where you stay at Shamwari, its memories will remain with you: game viewing at dawn and in the evening; sitting around a blazing fire in a boma listening to tales of old African traditions and stories of close encounters with animals of the wild. But most of all, you'll remember the awesome, mystical empathy between man and beast which arises from the co-existence and mutual respect of creatures born to be free. The conservation activities of Shamwari Private Game Reserve include two Born Free Rescue Centres, a sanctuary for abandoned wild cats.
