Open-plan luxury tents cleverly designed to magnify the seclusion and expanse of the African bush. A habitat could scarcely be more diverse: open plains of grazing buck yield to dense, bird-plenty thickets, sudden plummets of rocky ravines are carved by the Bushman's River. Conveniently located along the Garden Route, this lodge is an easy-to-access thoroughgoing wilderness with Big Five game viewing and a host of other general and rare wildlife to boot. Shamwari is known for its conservation ethics, offering additional educational activities through its Animal Rehab Centre, Born Free Big Cat Sanctuaries and Ian Player Rhino Awareness Centre.




Twelve tents make up this intimate camp - nine are considered Luxury tents, while three are Superior class. All the tents have a private plunge pool and large indoor baths and showers along with modern amenities like international adaptors, bar fridges and hairdryers. The Superior tents have all of the same facilities as the Luxury Tents but also have their own private deck with a hammock and a fireplace for the chillier evenings.
