Shamwari
We had an amazing stay at Shamwari! The game drives were amazing, the Bayethe luxury tent was really cool, and the service was wonderful. I hope to make it back to SA someday, but if not, I will remember Shamwari as one of the most amazing places I've ever stayed.

Brilliant safari but priceu
If you can put up with the 5 am starts to see the animals this is a brilliant once in a lifetime experience. It is not cheap in fact the 3 day safari cost as much as the rest of our SA 2 week holiday incl flights but it is very good. We stayed at Long Lee Manor which is to close soon for a further upgrade!!! The food is excellent everyone on our tour had a fantastic time.

Wonderful!
Shamwari really is everything it is cracked up to be. A full luxury experience during which you rarely have to do anything for yourself. Sarili lodge is beautiful and the staff and food are first rate. Our guide was excellent, going out on a limb to provide us with a good experience. He was friendly, helpful and extremely knowledgeable (though we felt he could have been a bit more forthcoming - it was only on questioning him that we truly began to tap in to everything he knew, but perhaps that is just his style). To top it off the staff prepared us a surprise for our honeymoon which really made it special. We saw a good range of animals, though not all of them. All in all a fantastic experience - highly recommended.
