Day 1: Port Elizabeth, Shamwari Game Reserve, South Africa

Depart from Port Elizabeth in a Deluxe sedan/ Executive minivan 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 5 eco-systems, thus supporting the many forms of plant, animal and bird life.

An afternoon game drive with a trained ranger 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. Return to the lodge and enjoy a delectable meal, expertly prepared by the chefs or a barbecue at the river next to a roaring fire.
