Luxury Holidays At Long Lee Manor at Shamwari Private Game Reserve

A superb beginning or finale to your Garden Route holiday, the malaria-free Shamwari Private Game Reserve encompasses no fewer than five different eco-systems and is home to a spectacular variety of wildlife, including the famed 'Big Five'. Almost as diverse as the wildlife is the choice of luxurious guest accommodation, and the newly redesigned, Edwardian-style Long Lee Manor offers an elegant place to stay, comprising just a handful of rooms and suites, surrounded by manicured gardens. Newly refurbished, the house’s interiors combine traditional leather, linen and timber panelling with light, fresh colour palettes and luxury touches. Experience the exhilaration of a game drive through the surrounding plains and learn more about the reserve’s incredible conservation work, before heading back to camp for a dip in the striking rim-flow swimming pool or a massage at the relaxation retreat. When it comes to mealtimes, feast on delicious cuisine using many ingredients sourced from the onsite kitchen and herb gardens. Take gourmet picnics out on safari, indulge in multi-course dinners in the elegant dining room, or enjoy traditional braai barbecue in the boma overlooking the waterhole.
