Unique to Shamwari’s Explorer Camp is the ‘Explorer Deck’ overlooking 25,000 hectares of breathtaking Big 5 territory. Each tent is luxuriously furnished by Melvill & Moon for comfort in the wilderness.  

The Sanbona Explorer two day walking safari takes place in the midst of Sanbona’s Big 5 wilderness territory and is perfect for guests looking for an authentic walking safari, accompanied by a specialist guide. Guests learn about this unique Karoo wilderness area as well as the vast variety of birds, wildlife and vegetation and the natural history and culture of the area.   In the evenings a delicious bush meal is prepared and cooked on the camp fire enhancing the safari bush experience.
