Activities
 The open vehicle
game drives are of course the main event at
Shamwari. You are seated in modern 6 seater Landrovers
and accompanied by trained ranger guides who have a wide knowledge and
appreciation of
the wildlife and the natural environment. You leave early
in the morning for a game drive followed by breakfast at your lodge,
and again in the late afternoon for an
evening/night game drive, stopping for sundowners on the way.
Your time between game drives is spent relaxing
at your lodge, with facilities such as a swimming pool, gym and tennis
to keep you occupied in the heat of the day.
Once back at your lodge
at around 8 pm. you'll enjoy drinks at the bar
followed by a barbeque, locally known as a 'braai'
or a tasty African style dinner in a boma or under
the stars.
Guided
nature
walks and 3 day backpacking wilderness trails can be arranged, in
the company of an experienced armed guide. This type of activity is
recommended at
Shamwari, because hiking in the wild enables you to gain a personal
appreciation for the African
environment.
 The Born Free
Foundation was set up to promote
the conservation of
species, to
rescue wild animals from captive situations and to draw the awareness of the public to
the plight of these animals. Be
sure to see the big cats at the Born Free
Foundation Animal Rescue and Education Centre at
the Shamwari Game Reserve.
