Day 1: Port Elizabeth, Shamwari Game Reserve
Transfer by air-conditioned Microbus from Port Elizabeth to the malaria-free Shamwari Private Game Reserve, arriving in time for lunch and afternoon game drive. Steeped in settler history and dating back to a time when a multitude of game roamed freely, the reserve boasts five eco-systems, thus supporting the many forms of plant, animal and birdlife. Game viewing is carried out on game drives with a trained ranger who will increase your enjoyment with his knowledge of both the flora and fauna.
As the light fades, with the help of a powerful hand-held light, your ranger will sweep the 'veld', in search of nocturnal animals. Back at the lodge, enjoy a drink in the bar with your ranger amid cheerful recollections of the day's discoveries. This is followed either by a great meal expertly prepared by their chefs, or (Gold & Platinum) a barbecue at the river next to a roaring fire. Accommodation at: Shamwari Private Game Reserve - full board basis + 2 game viewing activities. |
