O Long Lee Manor é sem sombra de dúvidas um dos lugares mais espetaculares em que já fui. é um dos lodges da empresa Shamwari Game Reserve. Fica a cerca de uma hora de port Elizabeth. O conforto dos quartos é indescritível. O atendimento é absolutamente perfeito, com uma equipe extremamente atenciosa. O regime de pensão completa (com exceção das bebidas) é perfeito, com restaurantes deliciosos. Os Safaris são inesquecíveis ! E era só abrir a porta dos quartos para ver Girafas, zebras, entre outros animais.

Our stay here was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, it was clear we were stepping into absolute luxury. The main reception and shop area were beautifully designed, and the accommodation itself—large, elegant bungalows—felt like something out of a dream. Our own bungalow overlooked the safari plains, and one afternoon we returned to find giraffes grazing right up to the boundary. Moments like that made the experience truly magical. With only a small number of guests on-site, the service felt incredibly personal. We were two families travelling with teenagers, and every single minute was a joy. Yes, it is expensive, but once you’re there, you immediately understand the value—every detail is thoughtfully crafted, and it is worth every penny. Meal times were a highlight in their own right. The quality, variety, and presentation were exceptional, and every dish was delicious. We also had our own safari guide who took us on two game drives each day. We travelled across varied terrain and saw an astonishing range of wildlife—everything except leopard. The sightings we did have were breathtaking, and the knowledge our guide shared was unbelievable. These memories will stay with us forever. Thoughtful touches made the experience even more special: hot water bottles and blankets for the early morning drives, and in April we definitely needed woolly hats and hoodies. Evening drives were just as magical, with stunning sunsets and lamping activities to spot nocturnal animals. Once the sun dipped, the temperature dropped quickly, so warm layers were essential. Our accommodation, our guide, the drives—every aspect was unbeatable. Pure luxury from start to finish.

Booked a 2 night stay as the last 2 nights of a 2 week garden route trip to SA as a special treat as I'm 60 in a week or so. Difficult to describe this place, it really is something very special, to say it has the wow factor is a massive understatement. From the moment we arrived all of the staff , from reception to gardeners, kitchen staff to room attendants ,treated us like royalty, they make everyone feel special and always greet you with a big smile and they could not do enough to make our stay something that we will remember forever. We had a garden room and within 5 minutes of grabbing a drink from the mini bar (All inclusive like everything else !) and sitting outside our room on the large patio area we saw about 15 giraffe and a family of warthogs walk by ! The food, from breakfast to dinner was fine dining with wines to match. We did 4 game drives while we were there and can only say we were amazed and frankly emotional with what we saw, we were so close in our open vehicles. Difficult to summarise but we saw 4 of the big 5 (no Leopard unfortunately but they are exceedingly elusive !). We saw an Elephant chase away a lion and lioness, from about 15 feet we saw 2 male lions having a difference of opinion which really brought home how big, strong and dangerous they are. We saw a Cheetah and her 5 cubs and watched for ages while she stalked some Impala, it was truly riveting ! We saw a lion family, a lioness, her 2 year old daughter and 5 lion cubs and father..all from so close. We saw several white Rhino and their young. Special mention to our Ranger Karien, she was fantastic, so knowledgeable and passionate about the animals, the insects, the plants, everything ! She gladly answered all questions (and there were lots of questions thrown at her !) and although she knew the answer to most questions she made a point of coming back later to answer anything she wasn't sure about, she really was superb. We don't usually visit places twice because we like to try new places but I will be returning, simply the best !
