About Shamwari Bayethe
One of several lodges that fall under the Shamwari umbrella, within the South African private game reserve of the same name, Shamwari Bayethe is named for a local greeting that’s essentially equivalent to “I salute you.” An auspicious beginning for lodge whose twelve tents aim to provide top-flight luxury alongside total immersion in the landscape of the Eastern Cape. It’s a classic luxury-safari experience, with ample opportunity for viewing the so-called Big Five, and accommodations that expand what you thought possible from a mere tent, including outdoor showers, plunge pools, and living rooms warmed by fireplaces.
