Exclusive, yet unpretentious with unrivalled luxury around every corner, this elegant escape promises a world-class, personalised experience in a truly relaxing environment.

This reserve offers the unique experience to watch and be surrounded by 250 different species of wildlife; and whilst seeing these mesmerising creatures in their home can be relaxing, it can also supply some educational encounters. If you’re more of a botanist, why not take the guided bush walks to learn about the local flora and fauna that inhabits the area?

Climate

Due to the geographical position and size of the Eastern Cape, the climate varies considerably, though, as a rule of thumb, the further inland you travel, the hotter and drier it gets, while the further east you travel, the wetter and more humid it becomes. At Shamwari, sub-tropical and Mediterranean climates combine, making it a good place to visit year-round. The dry season here falls between September and March, followed by cooler seasons until August.

Winter (April to August): Daytime temperatures range from 7⁰ C, with midday recordings hovering around 22⁰ C thanks to ample sunshine. Nights are cold.
Summer (September to March): Daytime temperatures range from 16⁰ C to 36⁰ C, with a pleasant breeze.

Getting There

Flight Information

Flight Time

Onward connecting flight from Johannesburg to Port Elizabeth: 1 hour, 40 minutes.

Wildlife

Elephant, lion, leopard, rhino and buffalo – the ‘Big 5’ all reside in the Eastern Cape, in a malaria-free environment, making it ideal for families. The birdlife here is wonderful, too; encounter species that may be entirely new to you, such as the White-Fronted Bee-Eater. Notable conservation areas include the Addo Elephant Park and Shamwari on Bushman’s River, our featured private game reserve, about an hour from Port Elizabeth. Along the coast, meanwhile, the ocean is rich in marine-life and there is a good chance that you will glimpse dolphins and the occasional whale from the beach – Algoa Bay is an easy outing and a favoured spot with Orcas, Humpbacks and Southern Rights.

Wildlife
Watersports

The Eastern Cape’s coastline skirts the Indian Ocean for 800km; highlights include Algoa Bay and the Port Elizabeth region, where some 40km of sensational beaches act as a magnet for lovers of water sports. The sea is warm and there is a pleasant breeze, making swimming, sailing, windsurfing and surfing all popular pastimes. Top picks for surfers include The Pipe, Millers Point, The Fence and Bluewater Bay – a truly wild and wonderful location for enthusiasts or spectators. Algoa Bay is also a mecca for sailing and diving, boasting shipwrecks, vibrant coral and abundant fish.

Watersports
Nature

Mother Nature has crafted some of her finest handiwork in the Eastern Cape, and its huge variety of scenic topography is a characteristic of the area. The Tsitsikamma Forest is a must-visit, often described as the ‘Garden of the Garden Route’, an amazing ecosystem full of ancient trees towering over moss, ferns and fragile fungi. Other highlights include the rugged landscapes of the Baviaanskloof Wilderness Area, the parched Great Karoo, the incredible Drakensberg peaks and the everchanging settings along the Wild Coast - an untamed and beautiful coastline punctuated with desolate beaches, secluded bays, rugged cliffs and velvet-green peninsulas.

Nature
Golf

The Eastern Cape is a good choice for golfers, offering a selection of excellent courses close to Shamwari. Particularly special courses include Bushman Sands, an 18-hole Gary Player classic, as well as the Port Elizabeth Golf Course, the country’s second oldest club, affectionately called ‘The Hill’. On the outskirts of town, the Humewood Golf Course boasts fast greens, rolling fairways and fantastic ocean views.
