Shamwari’s Interview With Insider Travel Report Overview

Joe Cloete, the CEO of Shamwari, was recently interviewed by Inside Travel Report about our history, mission, and upcoming conservation-related efforts.

“Our mission at Shamwari has been, over the last 30 years, to bring back all the different animal species that occurred here many, many years ago, and we have largely accomplished that!”; assured Joe Cloete when asked what Shamwari is all about. Joe Cloete has been a devoted Shamwari Private Game Reserve employee since 1992.

Having started as a guide when approached by philanthropist Adrian Gardner, Joe Cloete is living proof of successful nature conservation through dedication, patience, and formidable effort. Much like Joe and every individual on a team, Shamwari Private Game Reserve is a prime example of how a daring, ambitious conservation initiative has turned the clock back and brought a part of Africa’s natural heritage back to its former glory.

Let us unpack more of the interview below.

What Are Shamwari’s Plans For The Future?

The Shamwari Private Game Reserve is still exploring ways to expand its conservation strategy and raise the reserve’s ecological significance. The 250 km2 reserve is now recognised as a conservation success story and is designated a Protected Environment. We have recently acquired 1,338 hectares north and south of the reserve for wildlife conservation and the reintroduction of spotted hyenas and African wild dogs.

New Vulpro Conservation Project

“We are very excited (as) we are, in all likelihood going to launch our Vulpro Project over the next couple of months, where we are to be setting up a breeding centre for endangered Cape vultures and other vulture species in South Africa threatened.” CEO Joe Cloete informed David Cogswell in the interview.

Anti-Rhino Poaching

Shamwari continues to fight to help end the devastating practice of rhino poaching. Both black and white rhinos are brutally hunted for their horns, as they are falsely believed to have therapeutic properties. We must debunk these myths and raise awareness about the real value of these magnificent animals. We are still working to safeguard the rhino population and have adopted a more proactive strategy than a reactive one.

At Shamwari Private Game Reserve, we are thrilled to unveil our cutting-edge approach in the fight against rhino poaching through technology:

  • Intelligent Surveillance
  • Drone Patrols
  • Rhino Bracelets
  • Secure Fencing
  • Collaboration
