Fauna and Flora
Steeped in pioneer history, and dating back to the
time when a multitude of game roamed wild and free, the 25 000 hectare
reserve boasts five eco-systems, thus enabling the support of many forms
of plant, animal and bird life.
Shamwari Private Game Reserve is big 5, malaria free
and is situated in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. This reserve has
received numerous international awards, including the World’s Leading
Conservation Company and Game Reserve for many consecutive years. It
is situated in verdant bush along the Bushman's River, halfway between
Port Elizabeth and Grahamstown, a pleasant drive from Cape Town and forms
a natural extension to the famous Garden Route.
Activities
Between game drives guests can laze around one of the
two pools, relax in the beautifully appointed garden lounge, or experience
a rejuvenating treatment in our spa.
Born Free Big Cat Sanctuary:
The Born Free Foundation is at the forefront of drawing the public's attention
to the plight of wild animals confined in impoverished captive environments
and promoting through education and public awareness, a humane agenda.
It is the mission of both The Born Free Foundation and Shamwari Game Reserve
to promote the conservation of species and the protection of habitat while
maintaining a humane and compassionate approach to the welfare of animals. |
