Review by: John & Sue Kay, Blyth UK (stayed: September 2009)

After spending almost 6 years living in Africa and then watching every episode of the TV series, my wife and I booked a 3 night safari as part of a 14 night trip to South Africa to celebrate our 40th Anniversary and 60th/61st birthdays. Shamwari had a lot to live up to and it did that and more!
The superior 'tented' accommodation at Bayethe was absolutely 5 star and Headman - our ranger was a real gem!! He was so very knowledgeable and really showed his passion for the animals and all that Shamwari stands for. We now have some absolutely superb photos and video to remind us of this very special place.

Having attended a meeting in Cape Town it seemed a great idea to stay in a game reserve and try and see the wildlife. (Always a bit dependent on the animals!) I stayed at Bayethe in Shamwari and the staff were all helpful, generous and intent on making your stay a good one. The food and accomodation were fabulous and the drink was included and nobody took overly much advantage of this.
On to the main part - The rangers were absolutely determined that we should see as many animals as possible. This started with impala and a rhinocerous wandering between our 'tents'. In the jeeps we saw so much in 3 days that it was just unbeleivable. Of course zebra, rhino, elephants and lions but also cheetah, cape buffalo, various and many antelope/gazelles of different types but also many birds. So many of the animals had young as well, which was delightful. The highlight had to be sitting about 2 yards away from a young male leopard - something many South Africans have not managed. The weather was mixed but we were never cold. The experience of a lifetime if you love wild life. Highly recommended and thank you all at Bayethe.
