Explorer Camp

During South Africa’s summer season, Shamwari Game Reserve expands its offerings even further by opening the Explorer Camp.

This once-in-a-lifetime experience takes guests on a guided walking safari of the surrounding land, allowing you to get up close and personal with nature. Each tent is luxuriously furnished for comfort in the wilderness.

We firmly believe that travel needs to be simplified by going back to basics. This package not only reflects the core ideals of our safaris but aims to deliver an eye-opening encounter with nature.

Our wilderness bush camp itinerary comprises a min 2-night trail, Operational Tuesday & Wednesday and Friday, Saturday with an optional 3rd night (Sunday) on request.  The camp operates from October to April.

To awaken your natural instinct and get in touch with nature, look no further than Shamwari Game Reserve for a summer adventure.

Wild animals are able to cross through the camp at any time and although all safety precautions have been followed in setting up the camp; this remains a reality.
