Pamela Thomas takes us to Shamwari!

July 19, 2019

We're back with another installation of our travel series, this time featuring Pamela Thomas, Director/Partner at Community Films. Keep reading to learn about her beautiful trip to Shamwari!

The Basics

We were in South Africa for a few days, but spent the bulk of our trip -- 4 days and 3 nights -- at Shamwari, a Safari Game Reserve. We stayed in Eagles Crag Lodge, which is a bunch of gorgeous 'huts' along raised walkways. I had stayed there once before at the end of a work trip, and it was a bucket list vacation for our family (husband Lloyd Stein and our two kids, Jack, aged 17, and Sadie, aged 14).

While you're at Shamwari, everything is there -- but we were also in South Africa before and had some amazing meals & fun experiences!
