Shamwari Game Reserve – Long Lee Manor, South Africa

Adam Chapman

Long Lee Manor is a beautiful lodge with a distinctive colonial style. It is the type of place where you feel immediately relaxed, having breakfast under the trees, lounging by the pool or sipping a cocktail at sunset. With gracious living indeed!

Shamwari Private Game Reserve is home to Africa’s Big 5 (elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion and leopard), is malaria free and is situated in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. This reserve has received numerous international awards, including the World’s Leading Conservation Company and Game Reserve for many consecutive years. It is situated in verdant bush along the Bushmans River, halfway between Port Elizabeth and Grahamstown, a pleasant drive from Cape Town and forms a natural extension to the famous Garden Route. Luxury safari accommodation is offered in 6 different lodges on this private game reserve.

Long Lee Manor, originally built in 1910, offers a distinctive Colonial experience. This splendidly restored Edwardian Manor House offers guests refined comfort, congenial service and enticing cuisine in the African bush. Between game drives guests can laze around one of the two pools, relax in the beautifully appointed garden lounge, or experience a rejuvenating treatment in our spa. Long Lee Manor is a reminder of an era of gracious living - positioned as the flagship of Shamwari - it overlooks a water hole and the sweeping plains leading down to the Bushmans River

Only here 24 hours but the tour of Jo'burg was interesting and the Apartheid museum was definitely worth seeing.
