Shamwari

Shamwari Map

Shamwari is privately owned and Africa's southernmost game reserve in the malaria-free Eastern Cape, near the sunny city of Port Elizabeth. Although it has an area of only 180km², the reserve contains all of the big five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo).

Other animal species you might encounter at Shamwari are hippo, zebra, black and blue wildebeest, common and black springbok, blesbok, red hartebeest, gemsbok, eland, kudu and bushbuck. At night you may see the aardvark, caracal, genet or Cape grysbok.

Shamwari contains over 200 varieties of raptors and birds, from the majestic marshall eagle to the greater double-collared sunbird. Ongoing projects ensure that the land and indigenous plantlife are restored in the area, while the anti-poaching unit protects the wildlife.
