South Africa private Game Reserves

Experince luxury in a prive game reserve

South Africa offers some of the best private game reserves in the world. With its excellent road system, top-rated accommodation and splendid scenery, South Africa allows visitors the opportunity for luxurious comfort along with the excitement of wildlife viewing. South Africa boasts a huge collection of wildlife regions and game parks - both public and private - encompassing every possible landscape from deserts to forests, mountains to coast, teeming with wildlife species - including Africa’s Big 5: Leopard, Lion, Buffalo, Elephant and Rhinoceros.

The growing number of privately owned game and nature reserves in South Africa can be acredited to the growing rate of tourism. Some of them are of substantial size and very well stocked with game. Some offer hunting safaris as well. Most of these private game reserves in South Africa lie in the Mpumalanga Lowveld, west of the Kruger National Park. Since there are no fences, the animals can roam freely between the Kruger park and the private parks. The most famous parks in this area are Sabie Sand, Sabi Sabi, Mala Mala, Londolozi and Inyati.
