Ease into the homely feel of Shamwari Bushmans River Lodge, a beautifully restored Victorian homestead with a home-from-home atmosphere.

Artistically decorated in an ethnic theme, Bushmans River Lodge is a haven of comfort, and a welcoming reminder of true South African hospitality. It has four luxurious en-suite rooms, each with full air-conditioning offering welcome respite for the African summer heat. You can also take some time out in the spa or indulge in the historic stories and legends of the area often told by the rangers. During the day you can enjoy a Bushmans River cocktail under the thatched boma. After your evening game drive, have a drink in the bar with your ranger, followed either by a meal expertly prepared by Bushmans River Lodge's chef, or a barbecue next to a typical bush bonfire.

Shamwari Bushmans River Lodge is located in the verdant bush along the Bushmans River, in Shamwari Game Reserve, a malaria-free private game reserve in the Eastern Cape which has received numerous international awards, including the World's Leading Conservation Company and Game Reserve for many consecutive years. Set halfway between Port Elizabeth and Grahamstown, Shamwari forms part of the famous Garden Route, along South Africa's Eastern Cape. Nearby attractions include a culture village and The Born Free Foundation & Wilderness.
