At Shamwari Private Game Reserve it isn’t just about safaris. It is about creating unforgettable memories for the entire family while contributing to a larger cause. With a focus on conservation and luxurious hospitality, Shamwari offers a malaria-free, family-friendly and fun safari experience in the Eastern Cape in South Africa.
There is magic for young guests at the Kids on Safari Adventure Centre at Riverdene Family Lodge. Designed with fun and exploration in mind, the centre offers everything from ziplining and rock climbing to adventure slides and treehouse explorations through suspended walkways.
A visit to the Born Free Foundation Big Cat Rescue Centres is a must for children aged six and up. Through educational tours, kids learn about the plight of big cats and the conservation efforts to protect their habitats.
Families travelling with younger children can take advantage of Shamwari’s professional childminding services, available at an additional cost. While kids under four are not allowed on game drives, parents can relax knowing their little ones are in safe hands while they explore the reserve.
Keeping teenagers entertained while travelling isn’t always easy, but Shamwari makes it effortless. From game drives and walking safaris to visits to the Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre, there is something for everyone. Snooker enthusiasts will love Eagles Crag’s impressive amenities, which feature a lounge complete with a billiard table and big-screen TV.
