Eastern Cape Safaris, South Africa
Eagles Crag Lodge
Luxury Open Plan Cottages. Detached for More Privacy
Tucked away into the bushveld and at the foot of the cliffs over which eagles soar is Shamwari’s Eagles Crag complex of nine luxury detached suites.
The open-plan thatched suites are centred around a contemporary designed main lodge equipped with all the modern creature comforts of a library, lounge, cigar bar and spa. The suites are similarly styled and each enjoys their own plunge pool, private decking and bird-spotting scope for more of a secluded getaway.

Places to combine Eagles Crag Lodge with
Etosha National Park
Encounter by Ongava is an intimate safari camp set within Ongava Game Reserve, on the southern edge of Etosha National Park. You’ll be surrounded by Mopane woodland and wildlife moving freely through the landscape.
There are eight spacious walk-in tents: seven standard tents and one paired tent that works well for families or small groups. Each tent has an en-suite bathroom with an outdoor shower and a private deck.
You can head out on game drives across the 30,000-hectare Ongava Game Reserve. The area is known for its rhino population, as well as lion, zebra and antelope, including the endemic black-faced impala. We especially recommend private guided nature walks, where you can slow down, appreciate the small details and explore with minimal impact. There may be the chance to approach white rhino on foot, as well as spend time bird watching.
For a wider safari experience, take a guided excursion into nearby Etosha National Park, Namibia’s prime savannah wilderness area. At the Ongava Visitor Centre, learn about the region’s geology, wildlife, plants and ecology.
Back at camp, slow down by the pool, settle into the library or gather at the bar as evening falls. The day softens into drinks, quiet conversation and the sounds of the reserve.
