Shamwari Private Game Reserve
Overview & Capacity
Shamwari is the Eastern Cape's flagship safari name - 25,000 hectares of malaria-free Big-5 wilderness an hour from the Bay's airport, seven lodges deep, with a TripAdvisor score (4.9) most hotels can only envy. For corporate work it's incentive and executive-retreat territory: the historic Long Lee Manor and its waterhole boma host small groups, and multi-lodge buyouts flex the numbers. Published conference capacities are thin, so B&W confirms them directly. This is where you send the top performers or the board when the reward has to be unforgettable rather than large - the Big-5 does what no ballroom can.
B&W Production Notes
- Medium - ultra-luxury lodge conferencing for small executive/incentive groups; no large plenary
The blue-chip safari reward. Not a conference venue - a Big-5 incentive the winners never stop talking about. Confirm buyout terms early.
