 Shamwari Private Game Reserve – Sindile 

A perfect safari escape for couples

Look for wildlife from your private plunge pool at Shamwari’s Sindile Safari Lodge.

Shamwari’s newest luxury tented camp has been designed to echo a solitary leopard’s sanctuary, blending into the bushveld while offering stunning views over the Bushman’s River and rolling plains. Sindile is secluded, intimate and incredibly tranquil as it welcomes adults only.
The dining area and bar make the most of the views over the reserve, and the fire pit is the perfect place to gather around in the evenings. Game drives in the popular Shamwari Private Game Reserve are included in your stay, giving you the opportunity to spot wonderful wildlife or visit the nearby Born Free Big Cat Sanctuaries and wildlife rehabilitation centre. Each of the nine luxury tents is elevated for beautiful views. These individual tents have been designed to blend with the natural surroundings – you’ll be deep in the wild bushveld, but still have the benefit of mod cons including Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, a Nespresso machine and a minibar. There’s also the bonus of a heated plunge pool on your private deck for the ultimate way to relax with an icy drink at the end of the day’s adventures.

Why we love Shamwari Private Game Reserve – Sindile

  • Sindile offers a romantic safari experience and is a popular choice for honeymooners

  • The tents are perfectly positioned to maximise the incredible views from your bed, free-standing bath or private heated plunge pool

  • Between safari experiences you can be pampered in the Relaxation Retreat

  • In the evening, meet by the fire pit for pre-dinner drinks before enjoying a sumptuous meal, surrounded by the sounds of nature

Wildlife conservation is at the heart of Shamwari. There are so many stories told by staff that really show the extent of how seriously conservation is taken here. There are the two Born Free sanctuaries, where visitors can see and learn about rescued big cats in a moving and informative tour. There’s a focus on caring for wildlife and the local community that makes Shamwari such a rewarding place to visit, whether it's raising orphaned rhinos until their release back into the wild together to donating buffet leftovers to a local orphanage.
