Spot the Big Five in Shamwari Private Game Reserve, 25000 hectares of untamed wilderness. Choose from one of six luxury lodges in the bush and you can finish up at the elegant townhouse in Port Elizabeth!
The 25000 hectare Shamwari Private Game Reserve is home to the Big Five (elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion and leopard) in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. Plus the reserve is also home to a variety of plains game, bird species and plant life - it is also probably one of the best places in the world to see rhino. Plus the whole reserve is malaria free so swap your tablets for khakis and let the Safari begin!
Shamwari Game Reserve has five natural ecosystems that support a diverse array of wildlife including rhino, lion, elephant, leopard, cheetah, wild dog, buffalo, hyena, kudu and many other antelope species and smaller equally fascinating creatures. Birdlife and indigenous flora complete a spellbinding story of life from the smallest organism to the largest beast and your personal ranger will be with you every step of the way to tell you about it.
While the resident ecologists win awards for their work in the field, the six luxury lodges on the reserve win awards for their quality.
