Enjoy, learn and experience some of the best African wildlife. There is great game viewing, in modern open game viewing vehicles that have been especially converted to maximise comfort and viewing potential.
I was so impressed with everything – the suite I had which gave me magnificent views, to the comfort of the bed, the balconies to sit on, the unobtrusivenss of the staff irrespective of whether they were cleaners, waiters, managers. The game viewing was wonderful – the ranger was very knowledgeable and had the sharpest eyes ever. He listened to people and every question was answered in full. I have been to planty of game reserves but his knowledge was outsanding and I learnt new things about some of the wildlife.
The food was out of this world – I am sure I put on 10kg in the time I stayed there. If you are not a fan of ice cream just wait until you try theirs – it is out of this world!
The stay was so enjoyable so I booked an extra night and so stayed longer than originally intended. I have every intention of returning and sincerely hope I can once again stay at Long Lee Lodge. If you do not stay at Shamwari you will regret it for the rest of your life (Barbara)
