Shamwari Private Game Reserve
A malaria-free Big Five reserve of 25,000 hectares of restored wilderness in the Eastern Cape, where five of South Africa's nine biomes meet, with six lodges and a seasonal explorer camp spread across it. Stay in Sindile's raised tented suites or Bayethe's canvas-and-glass ones, the junior suites of Eagles Crag among the cliffs, the Edwardian Long Lee Manor above the plains, Riverdene, built for families, or the six-bedroom Sarili Private Villa on the Bushman's River. Game drives go out at sunrise and sunset, rangers lead guided bush walks, and a stay can include a visit to the Born Free big cat sanctuaries, run with the Shamwari Foundation. Children aged three and over are welcome on game drives. Booked for you by an affiliated travel advisor.
