Shamwari Game Reserve

No items found.

Why

In the Eastern Cape of South Africa, near the top of the world famous Garden Route sits Shamwari Game Reserve. This reserve is world renowned for its incredible wildlife, landscapes and accommodation options in the form of world class luxury lodges.

When

Wildlife viewing in Shamwari is good throughout the year, as its arid to semi-arid climate draws animals to water sources at any time. The best wildlife viewing is during the driest winter months of June to September. However, it can be very cold during this time of the year, and warm winter clothing is essential, particularly for taking part in nighttime and early morning game drives in open vehicles.

May to September
  • Lack of water in the bush drives animals to water sources, making them slightly easier to spot
  • Discounted low season rates
  • Blue, cloudless skies
  • Warm clothes are necessary for chilly game drives in open vehicles
October to April
  • Lots of newborn animals
  • The park's landscape is transformed by abundant greenery and flowers
  • Migratory birds have arrived, and birding is excellent

I highly recommend Shann Shaw
Shann Shaw has been great to work with and she has tried her best to try to meet our budget expectations. She is very kind, responsive and detailed in her explanations and really, really helpful. When I told her I decided to book through expedia or booking, she still explained how everything worked and how these websites sometimes don't have all the details you need, yet, she work hard in getting us our flights and the hotel that we really wanted for this experience. I couldn't be happier with her service and dedication and highly recommend her services!

Candis was lovely to work with and super quick to respond. The entire process from when we first reached out to her to inquire about a trip to when we confirmed the quote and booking was under a week. We sincerely appreciated having all of these details taken care of for us and the all of the attention she took in answering our questions and adjusting our trip to work within our timeline.
