Luxury Holidays in Shamwari, South Africa |
Shamwari Game Reserve, stretching a glorious 20 000 hectares (49000 acres) across the eastern cape of South Africa is an exclusive, malaria free, private game reserve which has received numerous international awards, including the World's Leading Conservation Company and Game Reserve for five consecutive years.
It is situated in verdant bush along the Bushmans River, halfway between Port Elizabeth (45 minutes drive outside the city) and Grahamstown, a pleasant drive from Cape Town, forming a natural extension to the famous Garden Route. Shamwari is about conserving a vanishing way of life and is the realisation of one man's dream, and the success of many people's passion. Steeped in Settler history, and dating back to the time when a multitude of game roamed wild and free, the 20 000 hectare reserve boasts five eco-systems, thus enabling the support of many forms of plant, animal and bird life.
This is the ultimate African adventure and conservation effort coupled with responsible tourism. However, just because it is responsible tourism doesn’t mean the accommodation skimps on quality; quite the opposite in fact. The reserve boasts six five star quality lodges- Longlee manor, Eagles Crag, Bayethe tented lodge, Riverdene, Bushmans River Lodge and Lobengula, which all offer a truly traditional African experience. |
