Game viewing in Shamwari Reserve

Shamwari Riverdene Lodge is ideally situated in the world renowned Shamwari Game Reserve, a 25000 hectare malaria free wilderness in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. Game drives in open Landrovers are an especially rewarding experience at Shamwari as the reserve has a major focus on conservation and rangers are thus well-informed and extremely knowledgeable.

The rangers are in two-way communication with each other at all times, so on any day they know where the game is, and how to find elusive animals such as the rare Black Rhino. To ensure the lasting sustainability of the reserve as an ecosystem rich in biodiversity, Shamwari’s ecology department strives to protect and where necessary to improve the environment. The Wildlife Department has received the Global Nature Fund Award for Best Conservation Practice.
