During South Africa's summer season, Shamwari Private Game Reserve expands its offering even further by opening the Explorer Camp. This once-in-a-lifetime experience takes guests on a guided walking safari of the surrounding land, allowing you to get up close and personal with nature. We firmly believe that travel needs to be simplified by going back to basics. This package not only reflects the core ideals of our safaris, but aims to deliver an eye-opening encounter with nature. Our wilderness bush camp itinerary comprises a minimum 3-night trail and is operational weekends only (Friday - Sunday) . The camp operates from October to May. The Explorer Camp is discreetly fenced for safety reasons but retains true explorer ambiance. The tents are placed in close proximity without encroaching on the other tents' privacy, while the camp is located on a plateau set among the only basalt and granite extrusions on Shamwari - a truly magical setting.

Sindile, Shamwari's new luxury tented camp is a secluded, luxury getaway set deep in the African veld. The camp mimics a solitary leopard's sanctuary, blending with the surrounding bush while providing excellent vantages over the Bushman's River and surrounding plains. The nine luxury free-standing tents are elevated above the surrounding bush, allowing uninhibited views, unsullied by any other man-made structures or light pollution. The harmonious, intimate design minimises the environmental footprint. The dining area and bar are situated to make the most of the views over the reserve, with focal points including a large harvest table and fire pit.

The name for this Shamwari lodge comes from the African greeting, pronounced "By-ye-ti". The English translation for this word is "I salute you" and is one of the warmest welcomes in the African culture in this area of the country. For a luxurious, malaria-free experience, look no further than Bayethe Tented Lodge. A once-in-a-lifetime safari holiday, Bayethe Tented Lodge offers guests the opportunity to immerse themselves in utter tranquillity, surrounded by the rich vegetation of the unique location. This tented paradise provides privacy and a feeling of seclusion with spectacular views of the African bush.
