Shamwari Private Game Reserve is a malaria-free Big 5 destination in Paterson, located in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, spanning over 25,000 hectares. It comprises six lodges with distinct styles and five-star hospitality, including the Explorer Camp for an intimate bush-focused stay. The reserve emphasizes conservation, hosting diverse ecosystems and offering activities such as guided bush walks, spa treatments, and stargazing upon request. Its family offerings include the Kids on Safari program at Riverdene Family Lodge and Long Lee Manor, and guests can engage with conservation initiatives such as the Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre, Born Free Big Cat Sanctuaries, and Vulpro. In 2025 Shamwari launched the Shamwari Air Shuttle, a premium transfer service with direct flights from major hubs into the reserve.
