Luxury in the wilds of South Africa's Eastern Cape

Tailor-made holidays in the Shamwari Private Game Reserve

Indeed, the reserve's seven luxurious lodges are among the finest in South Africa, providing delightfully luxurious bases from which to explore the pristine African bushveld. And, with a full spread of activities, from guided walks to classic safari drives, your expert guides and rangers will introduce you to an abundance of free-roaming wildlife, including the iconic Big Five.

Furthermore, the reserve is one of the largest private conservation initiatives in Southern Africa, with everything from rehabilitation programmes to anti-poaching units working towards the reserve's ethos of cultural, environmental and financial sustainability.
