Shamwari Eagles Crag Lodge
'Exclusive, Romantic and Breathtakingly Beautiful'
For a true African experience, travellers can find no better than Shamwari’s Eagles Crag. The lodge is surrounded by imposing mountain cliffs in a naturally beautiful location, and it can be used as a base from which to take immersive wildlife safaris in Shamwari Game Reserve. The lodge offers incredible luxury and breathtaking scenery, where interior spaces showcase the natural surroundings. Each suite enjoys peaceful seclusion with private plunge pools and decks perfect for enjoying the remote surroundings, or guests can venture to the upper deck’s aerial viewing pods to marvel eagles gliding elegantly through the air.
In Our Opinion
'Eagles Crag is absolutely enchanting, and with twice daily game rides included in the cost, guests are bound to catch a glimpse of the Big 5.'
All lodges have their own kitchens. Dining is usually a communal affair with the other people on your safari vehicle – one night is spent in the dining rooms or around the dining table, and the other is spent in the Barn.
