Shamwari Game Reserve is a 20,000-hectare (49,000-acre), malaria free, private game reserve situated in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. It is situated in verdant bush along the Bushmans River, halfway between Port Elizabeth (a 45 minute drive outside the city) and Grahamstown, a pleasant drive from Cape Town, forming a natural extension to the famous Garden Route.

Shamwari is rich in various vegetation types that are suitable for an interesting variety of animal species. Large numbers of ungulates sustain a healthy population of lion, cheetah and the illusive leopard. Grasslands are home to the white rhino and the subtropical thicket provides browsing for the elephant and black rhino. Hippos are found in the riverine habitat. The Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre at Shamwari is a registered facility and as such, animals in need come from all over the Eastern Cape and even further afield. The primary goal is to ultimately return all the animals that are in our care back to the wild, or at least give them the best possible opportunity. To achieve this goal requires sensitive management and treatment is required by our vet, vet nurse and the team.

Located in the heart of the EC, a visit to Shamwari Game Reserve is one that will remain with you forever. With a wide range of animals & birds at very close quarters this place is heaven on earth. Voted the World's Leading Safari, Game Reserve & Conservation Company for many consecutive years. 58min drive (77.7km away from Hidden gem in Walmer.)

Luxury at its best. Being a PRIVATE BIG 5 RESERVE the rangers are permitted to drive off road for the very best game viewing (and photographic) opportunities. The perfect addition to your holiday in Port Elizabeth.
