Shamwari is The Next Level Experience

Are you HAPPY!? This is just one of the many expressions Ranger Mino asks you to confirm that your experience at Shamwari is perfect. The staff welcomes you into the reserve as a long awaited family member prepared to transport you into an experience beyond your imagination. The animals in the bush are abundant, healthy and as you will quickly learn everything serves a purpose. Stay another minute to capture the perfect picture, watch a sunset or just listen to an incredible story describing animal behaviors. Yes, we saw the big 5, but this experience went far beyond a single siting. This is a next level experience in luxury with every meticulous detail planned.

Fantastic!!!!!! Incredible!!!!! Magical!!!!!

Blown Away!!!!! Speechless!!!!! Fantastic!!!!!! Incredible!!!!! Magical!!!!! Luxury and adventure combined for the experience of a lifetime for our family of four visiting to celebrate my husband’s 40th birthday. Our Ranger Jesse was an absolute gem, she is amazing with kids, intelligent (her extensive knowledge of animals WOW), patient, kind and most important FUN! FUN! FUN! My kids cried when they left Shamwari. I have never seen them cry after a holiday or leaving a hotel ever so this was definitely a first. Customized to our every desire and a great surprise on each drive. They went above and beyond in making my husband’s 40th the most memorable birthday ever. We were blown away by the hospitality at Shamwari. The staff are incredible every single one of them. The most delicious fine dining experience, kids variety of food met every expectation. The facilities are among the finest we have experienced. The well trained staff made our stay world class. No details were left undone. As the staff gathered to wish us a farewell, we couldn’t help but feel we were leaving our friends. An extremely emotional departure. Thank you Shamwari you will always stay close to our hearts Suresh, Natalie, Tamia and Gia... thank you for a truly brilliant experience. See you soon.

Truly “Shamazing” Family Safari

Luxury and adventure combined for the experience of a lifetime for our family of four visiting from California. Our Ranger Jan is a pro at both tracking animals and getting a smile from a teenage daughter. Customized to our every desire and a great surprise on each drive. We spent 3 days at Shamwari and had new discoveries on each game drive. The facilities are among the finest we have experienced. The well trained staff made our stay world class. No details were left undone. As the staff gathered to wish us a farewell, we couldn’t help but feel we were leaving our friends. No matter the distance, we committed then to return soon. Thank you Jan, Liza Marie, Kim, Mandla and Theo for a truly brilliant experience. See you soon.
