Eagles Crag Lodge, Shamwari Game Reserve, Port Elizabeth, South Africa The premier lodge at Shamwari Game Reserve, Eagles Crag Lodge is the pinnacle of luxury and privacy. Throw in some spectacular scenery of the surrounding rock faces and you might catch the incredible sight of eagles soaring. Sheltered deep in one of the valleys on Shamwari Game Reserve and the encircling cliffs, this is a haven of tranquillity and style. With nine luxury suites accommodating two guests per room, you will find a myriad of activities to undertake in this malaria free area. Stretching over five of South Africa’s seven biomes in the Eastern Cape Province, this could be the perfect safari for you. At Shamwari, you can do bird watching or embark on a game drive. One of the big drawcards is the Born Free Big Cat Sanctuaries where the vision of actress and conservationist Virginia McKenna and her late husband Bill Travers is carried out in the programme to ‘Keep Wildlife in the Wild’. Another worthwhile place to visit is the Ian Player Rhino Awareness Centre, opened in 2012. The centre’s focus is to raise awareness of conservation and preservation as the rhino numbers are dwindling at an alarming rate due to the increasing greed of poachers. https://www.shamwari.com/luxury-safaris-lodges/eagles-craglodge/ | Photos courtesy of Shamwari Game Reserve.
