Shamwari is one of South Africa's most prestigious private game reserves and a multiple-award winner. This malaria-free, 25,000-hectare reserve is home to the Big 5 and offers an exclusive safari experience with far fewer vehicles than national parks. Enjoy morning and afternoon open-vehicle game drives with expert rangers, a gourmet lunch at the lodge, and the possibility of off-road tracking for closer animal encounters. Shamwari's dedication to conservation — including a wildlife rehabilitation centre — makes this a meaningful and luxurious wildlife experience.
