Welcome
to Shamwari Game Reserve, 20 000 hectres (49000 acres) 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. It is situated in verdant bush along the Bushmans River, halfway
between Port Elizabeth (45 minutes drive outside the city) and Grahamstown,
a pleasant drive from Cape Town, forming a natural extension to the
famous Garden Route. 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 18
000 hectare reserve boasts five eco-systems, thus enabling the support
of many forms of plant, animal and bird life. |
