3 days of superb closeup interaction with wildfire and scenery.
The experience at Shamwari was the highlight of an already brilliant trip to South Africa. Everything about it was was just great. Of course what made it special were the game drives with out experienced and knowledgeable ranger , Jonathan . Each day a bit more of the beautiful scenery and the wildlife in it unfolded fir us. We were so close to amazing animals without feeling we were disturbing them. Jonathan told us enough to increase our own knowledge and had humour which made it fun too. I really appreciated the fact that only 2 vehicles are allowed close to an animal at a time. Conservation and animal welfare is important to everyone there. The accommodation was excellent and the food too. The staff took care of everything you might wish for with a feeling that they really wanted to make your day special. The combination of being in your group eating together and being on the drive together meant you got to know others and share your experience but also you had time to yourselves. I know we paid a bit more than we could have for some other reserves but it was well worth it. I cried when we left! That doesn't happen after a usual holiday!

A fantastic experience
My wife and I spent three fantastic days at Shamwari Game Reserve in April 2017. We came close to lots of beautiful animals, including all the big five, but also many others, during two three-hours safaris each day. The weather was great, the guide (Stef) was excellent, the accommodation was superb, the food was very good, and the service was perfect. We are dreaming about going back as soon as possible. You can find a few of the pictures we took at https://www.flickr.com/photos/nilsaxel/sets/72157683166837055.
