Blown Away!!!!! Speechless!!!!! Fantastic!!!!!! Incredible!!!!! Magical!!!!!
Luxury and adventure combined for the experience of a lifetime for our family of four visiting to celebrate my husband’s 40th birthday. Our Ranger Jesse was an absolute gem, she is amazing with kids, intelligent (her extensive knowledge of animals WOW), patient, kind and most important FUN! FUN! FUN! My kids cried when they left Shamwari. I have never seen them cry after a holiday or leaving a hotel ever so this was definitely a first. Customized to our every desire and a great surprise on each drive. They went above and beyond in making my husband’s 40th the most memorable birthday ever. We were blown away by the hospitality at Shamwari. The staff are incredible every single one of them. The most delicious fine dining experience, kids variety of food met every expectation.
The facilities are among the finest we have experienced. The well trained staff made our stay world class. No details were left undone. As the staff gathered to wish us a farewell, we couldn’t help but feel we were leaving our friends. An extremely emotional departure. Thank you Shamwari you will always stay close to our hearts Suresh, Natalie, Tamia and Gia... thank you for a truly brilliant experience. See you soon.

Our Ranger Jan is a pro at both tracking animals and getting a smile from a teenage daughter. Customized to our every desire and a great surprise on each drive. We spent 3 days at Shamwari and had new discoveries on each game drive.

No matter the distance, we committed then to return soon. Thank you Jan, Liza Marie, Kim, Mandla and Theo for a truly brilliant experience. See you soon.
My family and I ( 2 adults , 3 kids aged 13,12 and 8) have just returned from one of the most wonderful experiences of our life. We stayed at Long Lee Manor in the most amazing family suite. It was pure perfection.
Long Lee Manor staff are incredible. Nothing was too much trouble for them! I cannot commend them enough. Service and hospitality extraordinaire!
And now onto the game drives..... Our Game Ranger was Mino, and after having experienced game ranging in this manner, we are forever spoilt for any other game drive. Mino made it his goal to pamper us and make us all feel like kings and queens ... and that’s besides all the actual game spotting and experiences. He went above and beyond for us. We had the most incredible sightings and experiences. Unforgettable!
On our last day we bumped into Shamwari’s CEO, Mr Joe Cloete. And it’s no wonder Shamwari is run so well ! Such a humble man with a fantastic attitude.
Our Shamwari Game Reserve experience was everything we wanted and MUCH more.
We highly , highly recommended it! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What an unforgettable experience we had at Shamwari! We booked place at Riverdene in February 2020 for July 2020, but due to travel restrictions and all the lodges closing, our plans were deferred indefinitely. We were so excited when we heard that Long Lee Manor would be opening and that we could visit after long last in December.
We were blown away by the immaculate arrival at Long Lee Manor after a long, hot trip and it just go so much better from there. Our beautiful, huge room was spotless, the staff were attentive, friendly and professional. The boutique hotel is kept in pristine condition, from it's beautiful gardens to all the amenities.
And don't get me started on the food! Every meal was delicious and carefully prepared - it's a pity you just can eat all of it!
But of course, the purpose of going to a game lodge is for the wildlife. We had the privilege of having senior ranger, Mino, as our guide for our 5 night stay and he made sure that we were comfortable, looked after and enjoyed ourselves. The sightings were incredible - fantastical elephant family sightings, lion, cheetah but also interesting things like a bat eared fox family, jackals and wonderful birdlife.
Every outing was a great adventure and we did not want it to end!
I cannot find one fault with this wonderful place and cannot wait to return! They were so attentive to every need, treated our daughter of 11 like a princess and overall, we felt like royalty. With an infinity pool, beautiful bar, spa, the most dreamy boma and everything in-between, Long Lee Manor is exquisite.
See you soon Shamwari!
