Derived from the Shona language, “Shamwari” translates to “my friend,” symbolizing the pinnacle of private game reserves and housing the revered Big 5. Spanning across an expansive, malaria-free landscape, Shamwari offers an acclaimed nature experience, representing one of Southern Africa’s largest private conservation endeavors.

At Shamwari, guests immerse themselves in harmony with nature, embracing fleeting moments as wildlife roams the landscape beneath the relentless African sun. Incorporating seven lodges and one explorer camp, each entity holds a unique essence. Designed to harmonize with their surroundings, these lodges offer guests an unparalleled experience of nature’s splendor.

Sindile at Shamwari Private Game Reserve offers luxury tented accommodations within the wilderness. Named after the matriarch of Shamwari’s leopards, the camp reflects the solitary sanctuary of a leopard, blending seamlessly with the surrounding bush while providing exceptional views over the Bushman’s River and surrounding plains. “Sindile” translates to “survivor” in isiXhosa, commemorating the celebrated leopardess that survived numerous lion encounters to raise five litters of cubs.

Elevated above the surrounding bush, the 9 premier guest tents at Sindile offer unobstructed views, free from any other man-made structures or light pollution.
