Early morning and late afternoon are the best times to see the animals.

Here the graceful leopard, the powerful rhino, elephant, and hippo share the domain with kudu, gemsbok, wildebeest, and zebra, as well as a paradise of bird, reptile, and plant life. Shamwari strives to educate and promote conservation awareness and your ranger will ensure that your experience is both rewarding and informative. (BLD)

Between game drives, visit the Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre, where injured, or orphaned animals are rehabilitated by a professional veterinary team and released back into their natural habitat. Shamwari has successfully raised and released orphaned rhinos into safe environments where they are now helping to grow future rhino populations.
