Explore Season is an Adventure Inspired by Nature. During South Africa’s summer season, Shamwari Private Game Reserve expands its offering 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.
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.
The wilderness bush camp itinerary comprises a minimum 2-night trail, operational Tuesday and Wednesday, and Friday and Saturday with an optional 3rd night (Sunday) on request. The camp operates from October to May.
The Explorer Camp is discreetly fenced for safety reasons but retains true explorer ambiance. The tents are placed in close proximity without encroaching on the other tents’ privacy, while the camp is located on a plateau set among the only basalt and granite extrusions on Shamwari – a truly magical setting.
