Shamwari Game Reserve
The story
A bit of Shamwari Game Reserve history.
Shamwari was founded by Adrian Gardiner in 1992, restoring depleted Eastern Cape farmland into the largest malaria-free Big Five private reserve in South Africa. Now part of the Mantis Collection (an Accor brand), it operates seven lodges across 25,000 hectares.
