Luxury accommodation offered in a choice of six lodges
Shamwari Private Game Reserve is home to Africa’s Big 5 (elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion and leopard), is malaria free and is situated in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. Within the reserve there is a choice of six luxurious lodges.



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 spell-binding 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.
