Shamwari Game Reserve

Shamwari Game Reserve boasts a most luxurious and authentic African bushveld experience within one of the largest private reserves in the Eastern Cape. Each day guests can look forward to some close-up viewing time of the ‘Big 5’ as game rangers plan a personalised daily programme. Set off early morning and evening for a game drive in open-sided game viewing vehicles, escorted by your ranger which last between three and four hours. Stop for coffee or sundowners en route and round off an eventful day with exquisite cuisine complemented by the Shamwari wine list, all of which is served under the stars around the crackling fire of the outdoor boma. Within Shamwari Game Reserve, Eagles Crag offers total seclusion and exclusivity, its detached luxury suites nestled deep in a valley gorge. In this most serene of settings, suite design maximises guest privacy, with wall-to-wall glass doors on two sides providing stunning views of the surrounding cliffs. A refreshing plunge pool on the spacious private deck is accessed through large fold-away glass walls and is the perfect spot for relaxing between game drives. Shamwari’s Bayethe Lodge is a real bush relaxation retreat, its refined luxury tents are nestled along a riverbed and camouflaged by trees to provide unsurpassed privacy. Wake to take a dip in your private plunge pool or later relax by the sparkling swimming pool to take the opportunity to spot game in Buffalo River from the viewing deck.
