Hey guys you stole a part of my heart that will stay with you forever! From the moment we drove onto Shamwari land I was in heaven I couldn't believe after all the years waiting that I was going on Safari and would enter what to me is sacred land "Born Free Foundation" We stayed at Bayethe lodge and loved every minute of it, the sounds in the morning were amazing of the animals waking up and we would stand on our terrace to breathe in the bush and just look out at the reserve and say hello to the little monkeys that would stop by on the off chance of something to eat. The food is amazing from breakfast to dinner and nothing is too much trouble, the staff really looked after us and treated us like royalty. They always greeted us with a smile. Our spa treatments were relaxing and listening to the animals outside at the same time was just perfect. Our ranger was JB who was so much fun and made the four day trip so enjoyable sharing his experiences and knowledge with us, we adopted him as our South African son and we were so sad to leave him when our time came to go. He really enjoys his work and I can honestly say he loves driving that jeep! He made sure we saw so much on Safari, all of the big 5 and more. We had cocktails in the bush one afternoon and then a picnic another day and the most fabulous coffee and hot chocolate one cold morning. Many thanks for all of the little special surprises JB x On our last day we went to the Born Free Foundation within Shamwari, which is a bitter sweet experience.....but not to be missed. I loved everything about my trip to Shamwari and it will stay in my heart forever. I often think of them all there and hope one day I can return xx

What an unforgettable bucket-lust adventure. Sure-footed, enthusiastic horses who cantered, swam , climbed steep hills and were consistently steady during the beach rides, river trails and game viewing. Even though I am still a novice when it comes to horse riding, Jono paired me with first Hazel and later Abby - and both of them were a perfect fit. I never felt unsafe through out this amazing adventure and both of them carried me with the utmost care. We experienced breathtaking views, enjoyed and enjoyed exceptional home-made food. I loved the tented camp, the farm dogs, wildlife and the interaction with Jono and his team (Edain our trail guide, Catherine the wonderful cook and Thulane who helped with the horses, the swims and trekking us around). Jono also went out of his way to add to our adventure and we enjoyed late afternoon sunsets on the beach and end off with an excillerating boat ride on the Kariega river. I met the most wonderful and exceptional group of people that made this adventure unforgettable. I would most defintely recommend Beachcomber Horse Trails to anyone who loves to experience the outdoors on horseback.
