Shamwari Game Reserve

Shamwari Game Reserve

Shamwari Private Game Reserve is located near Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape, South Africa. It is part of the Mantis Collection and has been voted the best game reserve in South Africa for ten consecutive years.

Shamwari has six lodges, all of five star quality. They are Long Lee Manor, Eagles Crag, Bayethe, Riverdene, Bushmans River Lodge and Lobengula.

Far more important than the luxury accommodation is the management, development and rehabilitation of an ecosystem almost destroyed by centuries of farming.

In 2005 the Reserve was awarded the Global Nature Fund Award for Best Conservation Practice.

The British TV series of Safari School was filmed here.

Tiger Woods got engaged at the game reserve and Brad Pitt, Nicolas Cage and John Travolta have all visited in the past few years.

The Born Free Foundation funds a sanctuary at Shamwari which gives lifetime care to several lions and leopards which have been discovered in poor conditions in circuses or zoos around the world.
