Shamwari Game Reserve is 45 miles from Port Elizabeth and 19 miles from the Addo Elephant Park. The reserve is dedicated to nature conservation, and has built itself around this philosophy. The vast, ever-changing vegetation, mixed with mild weather conditions provide the perfect home and hunting ground for many animals. Here the elusive leopard, the powerful rhino, elephant, and hippo share the reserve with kudu, gemsbuck, wildebeest, zebra, hyena, a large variety of smaller game, as well as a multitude of bird, reptile and plant-life. Game drives are the best way to view this expanse of bio-diversity. Both early morning and late afternoon game drives are popular activities. Shamwari escorts and an armed game ranger use their expert knowledge to make sure that your experience is rewarding and informative. Night drives (with the aid of a spotlight) provide additional viewing, while your personal ranger is present to answer any and all questions.
