Newsworthy
As modern civilization takes away more natural habitats to build homes, malls and factories, there is still an escape from all the city madness in a magical world of ecological wonder that lies in the remote stretch between Port Elizabeth and Grahamstown in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. It is a game reserve that is internationally known and has received numerous awards for its ability to combine luxury accommodation with effective and innovative conservation projects, offering guests a truly unforgettable wildlife experience. It is Shamwari Game Reserve. And recently it has again given South Africa reason to be proud.

The Kruger National Park in South Africa is a popular tourist destination that attracts visitors from far and wide. Tourists generally visit this renowned game reserve to view the animals, and with the abundance of wildlife within the Kruger’s borders, they are seldom disappointed. Another, possibly lesser known, attraction in the Kruger National Park is the archaeological site Thulamela, a royal citadel situated on a plateau a few kilometers west of Pafuri in the northern region of the park, which is considered to be one of the most significant archaeological finds in South Africa.
Features
Situated in the South African bushveld, only 40 kilometers from Pretoria and Johannesburg, the three-star Heia Safari Ranch beautifully captures the essence of Africa. Giraffe and zebras roam freely around the hotel property in between the 45 spacious two-bedroom thatched bungalows, at times stopping off at the sparkling blue swimming pool for a drink of water.
