We rounded off our holiday around South Africa at Shamwari. Having delayed staying here for years, due to the cost, despite many recommendations, why did we wait? It is worth every cent, for such a wonderful experience, which will stay forever. Why waste precious time and money on second best? The game was plentiful, the food excellent, the rangers knowledgable... More

Our three days at Shamwari was wonderful and as so many before me have noted, the service is excellent and the animals amazing. Anything you need, they take care of. And our ranger Philip was extremely knowledgable and provided such excellent service, which we greatly appreciated. My review is different as we were married on the property. Everything was planned... More

A game reserve really dosn't conjure up such luxury. I stayed in room 10 and it was huge. When I arrived the bed and bathroom were strewn with flower petals! Take your binoculars as you can see lots of animals including giraffe,elephants and zebra from your hotel room. The food was good although i didn't care for the bar b... More

I thought I would hate, but loved it. The safaris were excellent. We saw so many animals and birds, and no safaris were the same. Rangers are excellent, really know what they are talking about, and told you all about them. Long Lee Manor is lovely, so are the rooms, the food the staff, like another world. More

We stayed for 3 nights at the Shamwari Long Lee Manor in late January. Everything was just unbelievable. Our room was modern and very comfortable close to the nearest pool. The food was excellent, our Ranger , Shaun, was superb and the close up views of the animals just mind blowing. We were very fortunate to be joined by a... More

We didn't expect such luxury, and suite no 16 didn't disappoint. With views over the watering hole and at least 10 paces to one of the swimming pools what a start. Our ranger Philippe was such a knowledgeable and amusing guide. We saw it all, "up close and personal" Every moment is a treasure to remember. The breakfasts and lunch... More

Despite the very early morning starts we enjoyed every single moment at this place.

I would like to thank the staff of Long Lee Manor for an excellent time spent at your lodge. Wow from the time we arrived the manager, Matt and his able sidekick Frans were there to welcome us with the most awesome tasting homemade lemonade ever. Our car was parked and we were ushered straight to the lunch room to... More

Long Lee Manor is very stylish and very well run, you need to get there at about 1pm so that you have time to have some lunch and get ready for your first Game drive. We were assigned to Phillips group, and after we had gone through some safety do's and donts we set off, he was able to tell... More
