The stay

Secluded tented luxury in the Shamwari bush

Bayethe combines canvas, glass and private plunge pools across twelve suites hidden in dense vegetation. The layout is designed around privacy rather than family scale.

Who Bayethe suits

It suits couples who want a tented safari with privacy, with morning and afternoon game drives and guided walks on the Shamwari reserve. Guests check in at Shamwari’s Northern Welcome Lounge before the lodge transfer; Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport in Gqeberha is the nearest airport, and Shamwari has its own airstrip.
