Description
Shamwari Private Game Reserve is the embodiment of how a bold ambitious conservation project has turned back the clock, restoring a piece of Africa’s natural heritage to what it once was. In 1992 elephant, white rhino and hippo were re-introduced. Black rhino and buffalo followed in 1993/4, with cheetah, lion and brown hyena brought back in 2000. That’s when Shamwari become the first big 5 game reserve in the Eastern Cape.
