En oförglömlig upplevelse på Shamwaris Eagles Crag
Vi hade en fantastiskt vistelse på Shamwaris Eagles Crag lodge. Lodgen öppnade i september 2018 efter en omfattande renovering och allt är i absolut toppklass. Allt från vår bungalow som var fantastisk, maten som var 5-stjärnig till servicen som var förstklassig. Vi vill särskilt nämna vår ranger, James, som gjorde vår vistelse till en oförglömlig upplevelse. James bemödade sig ordentligt och tack vare hans envishet lyckades han hitta en väldigt skygg leopard, vilket betydde att vi såg alla big five! Vi skulle inte tveka en sekund att rekommendera Shamwari Eagles Crag Lodge eller att själva resa tillbaka.
We stayed at the Bayete Tented Lodge and it was amazing! Not only the setting and the comfort of the room (big wow factor!) were fantastic, but the service level was excellent! The safaris were really really great! Oir guide Vuyo to be highly praised!! Thanks for everything guys!!
Shamwari was perfect in every way from the beautiful room, friendly, helpful staff to the amazing view of the animals from the river view room to amazing safari experience. Worth every penny!
Amazing holiday of a lifetime. Surpassed all expectations. With outstanding Ranger Dean as our daily guide, with a wealth of Knowledge on all aspects of animals plants and birds. Outstanding food. Couldn’t of fed us enough. With lovely friendly and Hospitable staff.
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.
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.
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.
shamwari ist der luxus pur...fängt beim zimmer an und essen und die gut ausgebildeten ranger machen den aufenthalt perfekt. die tierwekt und landschsft ist atemberaubend schön und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. wir kommen wieder!
Excellent place. Our ranger “steff” was great. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Quality of food was unbelievable. Would go again with my family. We drove from Port Elizabeth airport and it was very convenient to reach this location.
Loved every minute of our stay here. Our ranger, Sarah, made every drive we had different and exciting. She knew everything about all the animals we saw and could answer any questions we asked. The rooms were fab and every little detail and luxury was there. The food was so good that I'm sure I have put weight on but was too delicious not to eat it. They have a very talented chef!
Sarili Lodge superbly located with wonderful views
Could not have been made more welcome. Sarili Lodge was extremely luxurious with every comfort you could want ( including thick ponchos for keeping warm on the game drives). Food was delicious and game drives were wonderful. Very knowledgeable rangers who tracked down many animals and provided amusing anecedotes. The number of guests viewing animals is strictly limited which benefits both the animals and us! Lovely sundowners
Amazing time with 5 game drives and knowledgeable,friendly ranger. Lovely setting in large game reserve.
Staff all very welcoming,friendly and eager to help.
Stay coincided with my wife's birthday which was acknowledged by some wine,a card, a lovely chocolate birthday cake and rendition of "Happy Birthday" by the restaurant and kitchen staff!
This was a return visit as we love Shamwari so much.
Amazing game viewing experience and excellent serv
We had an amazing stay at the Shamwari Long Lee Manor. Staff provided excellent service pampering us and taking care of our every needs and I had definitely put on some weight. The meals were wonderful we sure had one of the best lamb racks and braai dinner with our ranger was fantastic. Our ranger Abel was excellent, knowledgeable and a very humble man. Abel made sure we had the greatest game viewing experience which included chasing elephant herds and lion prides through the raw vegetation. We really appreciated that he shared with us about the different Khoisan cultures. Overall, we had an amazing experience at Shamwari and highly recommend this game reserve to anyone doing the garden route!
Excellent, excellent, excellent. Fantastic from start to finish. Lovely rooms. Views superb. Ranger fantastic, great tracker found all the animals. Thank you Armand. All the hotel staff are superb too.
We had 2 nights at Riverdene Lodge at the end of our holiday to South Africa and it was a magical experience. From the moment we arrived until we left we were treated so well by everyone at the Lodge.
Stayed as part of our honeymoon or 4 nights.
The entire stay from the moment we arrived was exceptional, the service was second to none and all the staff are so lovely and helpful. We stayed in Bayethe Lodge which was amazing. The rooms were great and the bed is absolutely huge.
Our Ranger was Rhynhardt, and I can't fault him. He was just exceptional. Such a lovely guy, with so much knowledge, experience and passion. If we go back (which is looking likely) I'm hoping he'll still be there so we can ask for him again. We saw so much on the game drives. So much of that is amazing luck, but I have no doubt that some of it was also down to having a great ranger.
I just cannot recommend this place enough!
