Welcome to Shamwari Game Reserve, 20 000 hectares (49000 acres) in the malaria free Eastern Cape province of South Africa. Shamwari has received numerous international awards, including the World's Leading Conservation Company and Game Reserve for five consecutive years.

It is situated in verdant bush along the Bushmans River, halfway between Port Elizabeth (45 minutes drive outside the city) and Grahamstown and forms a natural extension to the famous Garden Route.

Conserving a vanishing way of life

Shamwari is about conserving a vanishing way of life and is the realisation of one man's dream, and the success of many people's passion.

Steeped in Settler history, and dating back to the time when a multitude of game roamed wild and free, the 20 000 hectare reserve boasts five eco-systems, thus enabling the support of many forms of plant, animal and bird life.

This is the ultimate African adventure and conservation effort coupled with responsible tourism.
