At the end of a gorgeous day in the heart of the African
wilderness, a ranger will pick you up for a magnificent game drive
through the malaria-free game reserve of Shamwari. From your open 4x4
vehicle you might see rhino's, bushbucks and all sorts of other animals
waking up from their midday nap, in search of water and food.
Just before the sun sets, the ranger stops at a panoramic
location for a sundowner and some light snacks. Watch the sun set over
the African land and hear animals that you didn't see during the
morning game drive wake up.
A powerful handheld light is switched on, which enables you to explore the veld in search of nocturnal animals and nightly creatures.
All in all, the evening game drive of Shamwari takes about 4
hours. Conclude you day at Shamwari with a braai next to a roaring
fire, or a terrific meal prepared by Shamwari's dedicated chefs.
Location:
Shamwari Game Reserve
From Port Elizabeth travel along the N2 towards Grahamstown for
approximately 65kms. Take the Paterson off-ramp (R342), continue for a
further 7kms turning right at the Shamwari sign.
