Essequibo River
 Shanklands is carved from the tropical rainforest on a majestic cliff overlooking the silver water of Guyana's largest river, the Essequibo.
White colonial style gingerbread cottages are set amidst twenty-five acres of rolling lawns with views of the Essequibo and Mazaruni Rivers and the gold mining town of
Bartica.
 Each cottage is self contained with en-suite bedrooms and a spacious verandah hung with hammocks. The cottages are secluded by the beautiful grounds and boasts private beaches, coves and creeks.

A nature trail leads into the thick forest where you may encounter Tapir, Labba or other wildlife. The bird life at Shanklands is excellent with nearly 200 species recorded. The Essequibo River provides
a excellent arena for water sports. Enjoy sunfish sailing, kayaking, water skiing and tubing. Less strenuous activities as croquet, mini golf and volley ball can be played on the lawns and beaches. |
Day trips to Bartica, Kyk-Over-Al and Marshall Falls are available Shanklands is the perfect point to begin or end a trip to the famous Kaieteur and Orinduik Falls.
Trips from Georgetown travel along the Atlantic coast to the Essequibo River where you will board a boat to travel the 30 miles to Shanklands. The Essequibo River is Guyana's largest with its head waters in Brazil, the mouth of the river is 21 miles wide and has 365 islands.
