Shamwari, meaning “my friend” in Shona, is the pinnacle of private game reserves and home to the coveted Big 5. Stretching over a vast, malaria free landscape, it offers an award – winning nature experience and is one of the largest private conservation initiatives in Southern Africa. Shamwari is a place where guests can exist in harmony with nature, however fleeting the moment, where wildlife roam the landscape under the relentless African sun.
Officially declared as a Protected Environment, Shamwari Private Game Reserve is deemed as the most popular reserve in the Eastern Cape. This reserve provides an exceptional array of various wildlife species, notably the Big Five (Buffalo, Rhino, Elephant, Lion & Leopard).
Thrilling early morning and afternoon & evening safari drives offer guests the opportunity to meet the ‘Big Five’ and other animals in close encounters. Modern open safari viewing vehicles allow for comfort and best wildlife viewing.
