Shamwari Game Reserve
The multi-award winning private game reserve of Shamwari lies
less than an hour's drive from Port Elizabeth and has been
responsible for re-introducing numerous species into the Eastern
Cape plains, including all of the Big Five - lion, elephant, rhino,
leopard and buffalo. The reserve offers luxury accommodation, but
also hosts visitors on day trips from the city. Day tours include a
visit to an African art and culture village to sample Xhosa culture
and traditionally brewed beer, and a visit to the Born Free centre
for abused animals.
Information & Facts
Language
South Africa has 11 official languages, including
Afrikaans, English, Xhosa, Zulu and Sotho. English is widely
spoken.
Money
South Africa's currency is the Rand (ZAR), which is divided into
100 cents. Money can be exchanged at banks, bureaux de change and
the larger hotels. ATMs are widely available (there is a daily
limit for cash withdrawals) and major international credit cards
are widely accepted, except in petrol stations where cash is
required. Visitors should be vigilant when drawing cash from ATMs,
as con artists are known to operate there. Travellers cheques and
some foreign currencies are accepted at larger hotels and shops,
but commission is charged, otherwise all commercial banks will
exchange them.
