Bushmans River Lodge Welcome to Shamwari Game Reserve, 20 000 hectres (49000 acres) the malaria free, private game reserve situated in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, has received numerous international awards, including the World's Leading Conservation Company and Game Reserve for five consecutive years. It is situated in verdant bush along the Bushmans River, halfway between Port Elizabeth (45 minutes drive outside the city) and Grahamstown, a pleasant drive from Cape Town, forming a natural extension to the famous Garden Route. Shamwari is about conserving a vanishing way of life and is the realisation of one man's dream, and the success of many people's passion. Steeped in Settler history, and dating back to the time when a multitude of game roamed wild and free, the 20 000 hectare reserve boasts five eco-systems, thus enabling the support of many forms of plant, animal and bird life. Bushmans River Lodge is a unique historical site that has been beautifully restored. The home-from-home atmosphere is a welcoming reminder of true South African hospitality. Beautifully decorated in an artistic ethnic theme, the 4 suites offer a personalized service. This lodge is another representation of the true uniqueness of Shamwari. Relax under the thatched gazebo with a cocktail and look out for the hippopotamus in the Bushmans River below, dine sumptuously inside or take casual meals outside on the verandah overlooking the densely wooded Bushmans River valley. Bask in front of a glowing fire in the lounge during winter, in summer cool down in the delightful plunge pool and at night, retire to one of the four deluxe en-suite rooms. Bushmans River Lodge is pure unadulterated luxury, surrounded by the African wilderness. Tours using Bushmans River Lodge
