Long Lee Manor

  • Reserve View
Soft golden hues and subtle African furnishings provide a superb and luxurious atmosphere to the interior of this manor that will make you completely forget that you are in the middle of what is commonly referred to as ‘the bush’. Sweeping verandas look out over the manicured lawns of the house-front with its swimming pool feature, while the back of the property curves round to create an intimate courtyard complete with central fire pit for cosy nights sitting under the stars. Sleeping two adults per room, all accommodation options feature twin beds which can, on request, be converted into a super king-size bed.

DINING

As esteemed guests, this lodge is proud to offer the very best of its culinary skills. From breakfast to dinner (and all those snacky times in-between) guests of this lodge are given luxury in-house catering. A special braai (that’s South African for BBQ) event every other night affords guests the opportunity to mingle as they’re invited to pull up a chair in the social area and tuck into a succulent grilled feast.     

In-lodge Dining 

  • Regional/International
  • No
  • Yes
Indulge in generous portions of bush food including grubs, bugs and fried critters… only joking! Strictly international cuisine is on the menu here. The in-house dining service provides a refreshing breakfast of fresh fruit, yoghurt and other healthy day-starters while lunch is a hearty plate of chef specials that will fuel you through the day. Dinners are a vibrant and lively fare with food around the fire and social events every other night.   

LEISURE

You’d think that being in the middle of a game reserve would mean that your list of things to do would be limited to sitting in a 4x4 all day and staring out at the veld, wouldn’t you? Well, you’d be wrong. You absolutely will be spending much of your time on thrilling game drives but there are a host of other activities available for you to indulge in such as a spa day, water fights in your private pool or a visit to the wildlife rehabilitation centre. Everything here is designed to make your holiday one that you will never forget.  

Save a life today

The Shamwari Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre is one of the most popular facilities at this reserve and is a must-see for any guests making a stop here. A passion for conservation of both the nature and the animals of the park led to the creation of this centre which ensures that sick, injured, abandoned or otherwise problematic animals are properly cared for. The professional veterinary team nurse animals back to health then make sure that they are released back into their natural habitat and carefully monitored so they are sure the animals have made a full recovery.
 
Guests of the reserve have the opportunity to visit this miracle centre and see the animals close-up as well as observing treatments such as feeding.    

Take a walk on the wild side

Not only does Shamwari offer amazing, five-star accommodation but also astounding safari experiences throughout the day and night. Sure to be a highlight in your stay here, the wildlife park offers spectacular game drives through the part, headed by knowledgeable guides whose passion will get you going too. Early morning and evening is the most common time for a game drive as this is when the animals are at their most active. If you need the last member of the Big Five to complete your list or have a particular enthusiasm for, say, lions your guides will be pleased to tailor the drive to your desires.   

Awaken your Senses

An escape to Shamwari Game Reserve will provide more than just a secluded accommodation but also a chance to really relax in this fantastic setting with a trip to the safari spa. The experience of treatments at this reserve is one of total tranquillity, revitalisation and complete rejuvenation that will leave you glowing from head to toe. So, let your mind, body and soul all have a holiday at once in the expert hands of the on-site therapists.
