We are incredibly proud to announce that Eagles Crag Lodge, here at Shamwari Game Reserve, was named as the World's Leading Eco-Lodge 2016 at the World Travel Awards™ gala ceremony in the Maldives.
Comments Joe Cloete:
"It remains our goal at Shamwari Game Reserve to do our utmost to conserve a vanishing way of life. Not only through our extensive wildlife and conservation initiatives but also by building and maintaining our six lodges, off-the-grid Explorer Camp and facilities as eco-friendly as is feasibly possible. We constantly strive to educate guests, team members, and neighbouring community members to think wise and see how they too can be kinder to the earth."
Thank you to all our guests, past, present and future who voted for us at the World Travel Awards. This accolade recognises the commitment to excellence we make through our eco-lodge.
