Luxury Hotels in the Eastern Cape

The Eastern Cape is a great place to spend a few nights at the end of the Garden Route - an absolute gem here is Shamwari Game Reserve where you can tick off the Big Five, leisurely spot iconic bird species and stay in luxurious five-star accommodation, either in private tented suites or stylish lodges, and with two animal sanctuaries and hospitals, Shamwari offers a rare opportunity for you to have a close encounter with its big cats and wild patients.
