South Africa
Welcome to Shamwari Game Reserve, 20 000 hectares (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 five 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 20 000 hectare reserve boasts five eco-systems, thus enabling the support of many forms of plant, animal and bird life. This is the ultimate African adventure and conservation effort coupled with responsible tourism. |

''Away-away
from the dwellings of men, By
the wild deer's haunt, by the buffalo's glen, By
valleys remote where the oribi plays,Where
the gnu, the gazelle and the hartebeest graze, And
the kudu and eland undaunted recline By
the skirts of grey forests o'erhung with wild vine, Where
the elephant browses at peace in his wood, And
the river-horse gambols unscarred in the flood,And
the mighty rhinoceros wallows at will, In
the fen where the wild-ass is drinking his fill." Thomas
Pringle. 1820. |
