Long Lee Manor overlooks the magnificent plains of Shamwari with a watering hole on its doorstep. The accommodation is tastefully designed to enhance its location, boasting extremely spacious Edwardian styled suites and a Manor House lovingly restored to pay homage to the area’s rich heritage, adding a bit of romance to any stay. In between game drives relax by the rim-flow swimming pool or enjoy a safari spa experience where relaxing treatments will leave you feeling revitalised and rejuvenated. This is a place for those looking to seek out the Big Five safari with the home comforts and luxury of a modern hotel.

Shamwari Private Game Reserve is not far off the size of the Isle of Wight, a huge area of land with the sole aim of restoring and preserving the original landscape, flora and fauna of the region. Game concentrations are excellent, and this is definitely the best place in the Eastern Cape to see the Big Five of elephant, buffalo, rhino, lion and leopard in the wild.
