Sindile at Shamwari Private Game Reserve

Shamwari Private Game Reserve is a premier safari and holiday destination in South Africa’s ecologically and culturally significant Eastern Cape province. Shamwari, meaning “my friend” in Shona, is home to the coveted Big 5. It’s a place where guests can exist in harmony with nature, however fleeting the moment, where wildlife roam the landscape under the relentless African sun. Shamwari incorporates seven lodges and one explorer camp; each one unique in its own essence. Lodges are designed in harmony with their surroundings where guests can experience nature in sublime comfort.

Sindile at Shamwari Private Game Reserve provides luxury tented accommodation within the wilderness. Named for the matriarch of Shamwari’s leopards, 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. Sindile is isiXhosa for “survivor”, testament to the celebrated leopardess that survived numerous lion mauling’s to raise five litters of cubs.

The 9 premier guest tents are elevated above the surrounding bush, allowing uninhibited views, unsullied by any other man-made structures or light pollution.
