Bayethe Lodge is one of six luxurious lodges on the world-renowned Shamwari Private Game Reserve, an area of 61 770 acres of natural wilderness where over 5000 head of game roam freely including Africa's Big Five:

- buffalo and

The reserve boasts a huge variety of birdlife including Fish Eagles, Secretary Birds and Pale Chanting Goshawks.
Your days can be as full of activities as you wish, a normal day will start with an early morning wake up call followed by refreshments or breakfast before your first game drive of the day.
