Shamwari is the southernmost, big game, private reserve in Africa and it is malaria free.

They are about conserving a vanishing way of life, and Shamwari has been awarded a number of International awards for its efforts in conservation coupled with tourism. Shamwari's highly trained game rangers, with skilled service staff will ensure a memorable adventure. In keeping with its conservation policy, Shamwari has a complete wildlife research team as well as its own anti-poaching unit, ensuring an ecological balance prevails on this reclaimed piece of wilderness.

Tucked away and surrounded by imposing mountain cliffs, Eagles Crag expresses an elegant ambience amid nature’s beauty. Exclusive suites fashioned in glass and stone offer expansive views of the surrounding rock faces where eagles soar. Each suite is a secluded haven in which to unwind in sheer comfort.

While there is no telling what you will observe, the reserve is home to countless animals, including the Big Five: elephant, lion, leopard, rhinoceros and Cape buffalo.

Following the game drive, return to the lodge where dinner will be served, allowing you to discuss your evening’s adventures over some South African cuisine and a glass of wine.

Head into the bush in an open-sided 4x4 vehicle, accompanied by knowledgeable rangers and trackers who are skilled at pointing out the various animals.

The reserve sprawls over 60,000 acres of reclaimed Eastern Cape terrain that supports a huge variety of wildlife. You may catch sight of zebras grazing in the grassland, massive hippos wallowing in the mud flats, or herds of antelopes gracefully bounding across the fields. Giraffes often come right up to the vehicles out of curiosity. If you are a bird-lover, you will delight in the chance to see raptors, water birds and unusual ant-eating chats probing the termite mounds. Of course, the Big Five always command attention and they are abundant.

Upon your return, breakfast will be served followed by some free time and then lunch.

In the late afternoon you will re-group for afternoon tea followed by your open-vehicle game drive.

Enjoy drinks and snacks in the bush at sundown before returning to the lodge for dinner.
