The Shamwari Game Reserve teems with wildlife – all Big Five animals, plus loads of antelope species, cheetah, zebra, giraffe, wild dog, hyena and hippo!
The birdlife is seriously impressive, with outstanding quantities of raptors, waterbirds, and species at home in the plains.
Guests are invited to participate in game walks and nature walks, to get to know the area intimately via tracking and detailed identification. Local visits may be arranged too.
At the Shamwari Rehabilitation Center, young, orphaned, injured or abandoned animals are nursed back to health, while at the Dr Ian Player Rhino Awareness Center there is a wealth of information about these majestic creatures and the ongoing efforts to conserve them.
Guests also appreciate the Born Free Foundation Animal Research & Education Center, which presents the opportunity to learn about the many ways in which wildlife is exploited in captivity worldwide.
