Shamwari Private Game Reserve, Wildlife reserve in Eastern Cape, South Africa.
The 250-square-kilometer reserve contains five different biomes and hosts numerous species including lions, elephants, buffalo, and both black and white rhinoceros.
Established in 1992, the reserve transformed degraded farmland into natural habitats through extensive land rehabilitation and wildlife reintroduction programs.
Rangers share traditional ecological knowledge during guided safaris, explaining the connections between local communities and wildlife conservation methods.
The reserve offers six accommodation options ranging from family lodges to private villas, with game drives scheduled in early morning and late afternoon.
The Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre treats injured animals and maintains two sanctuaries dedicated to rescued big cats in partnership with international organizations.
