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

Seems pointless to book things direct when Safari.com can do it all for you at the same cost
I wasn’t actually planning on leaving a review until after our trip which has been scheduled for March 2025. I wasn’t even planning to use a travel company to assist as we are experienced travellers who are used to booking our own arrangements. The cost of going direct with suppliers and going through Safari.com was exactly the same - with the latter you also have outstanding service and advice which makes it pointless to do it yourself. But I felt compelled to leave a shout out for Leigh-Ann Croeser who has been extremely helpful in organising our itinerary for South Africa. Her response to queries was always prompt and professional. When we ultimately wish to travel to East Africa, I know who I will be contacting.
