South Africa Safaris and Tours

Shamwari Game Reserve, the malaria free, private game reserve situated in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, has received numerous international awards, including the World's Leading Conservation Company and Game Reserve for four consecutive years.

Journey into a timeless world of grace, elegance and romance, where spectacular scenery stirs the imagination and luxurious comfort soothes the body and soul.

It is situated in verdant bush along the Bushmans River, halfway between Port Elizabeth and Grahamstown, a pleasant drive from Cape Town, forming a natural extension to the famous Garden Route.

Steeped in Settler History, and dating back to the time when a multitude of game roamed wild and free, the 18 000 hectare reserve boasts five eco-systems, thus enabling the support of many forms of plant, animal and bird life.

NOTE: The Eastern Cape Private Game Reserves are a natural extension to a Garden Route Tour - whether Guided or Self Drive - and the perfect way to end your Garden Route trip.
