## About the hotel
Shamwari spans 25,000 hectares of restored wilderness in South Africa's Eastern Cape, land returned to biodiversity after decades of agricultural use. Six lodges and one explorer camp sit across the reserve, each offering Big Five game viewing in a malaria free setting. The reserve's conservation work, rather than luxury alone, underpins its reputation among Eastern Cape safari destinations.
