Shamwari Game Reserve Paterson (South Africa)

Situated close to Port Elizabeth, in the malaria-free Eastern Cape province of South Africa, Shamwari Game Reserve is one of the largest private conservation initiatives in Southern Africa. Offering a unique nature and safari experience in over 25,000 hectares of wilderness, this Reserve is home to the coveted “Big 5” – lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, and buffalo. Six luxury lodges offer distinctively different atmospheres and provide guests with a tranquil, private environment within nature. Children’s activities are plentiful at the Reserve, including visits to the Shamwari Wildlife Hospital and Born Free Foundation Big Cat Rescue Centre. Relaxation Retreats can be found in four of the lodges, allowing a soothing spa experience unlike any other.
