Shamwari Eagles Crag

About

Tucked into a serene valley and designed to blend effortlessly into its natural surroundings, Eagles Crag is an adults-only lodge known for its contemporary elegance and outstanding personal service. With only a handful of private suites, the lodge offers an intimate and sophisticated safari atmosphere, complemented by a focus on conservation and sustainability that is central to the Shamwari ethos.

Rooms

Eagles Crag features nine glass-fronted suites, each designed for maximum privacy and immersive comfort. Elevated on wooden decks, the suites offer floor-to-ceiling windows, plunge pools, outdoor showers, and private lounges with fireplaces. Decorated in earthy tones with modern African accents, they are both stylish and soothing, providing sweeping views of the cliffs and forested ravines from every angle.

Dining

Dining at Eagles Crag is a refined yet relaxed experience, with menus that blend local flavours and international influences. Meals are typically enjoyed in the elegant dining room, on private decks, or around the fire in the open-air boma. Paired with excellent South African wines and personalised service, each dining moment is thoughtfully curated and beautifully presented.

Activity

Guests at Eagles Crag enjoy twice-daily game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, led by expert guides who offer insight into the reserve’s incredible biodiversity, including the Big Five and many rare species. Guided bush walks, birdwatching, and visits to the wildlife rehabilitation and education centres enrich the experience. Back at the lodge, a tranquil spa and wellness centre offers treatments inspired by African botanicals, completing the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation.
