Information
This 134,000 acre (52,600) reserve is arguably both one of Africa’s best kept secrets and its best private reserve. For one, its open savannahs, cathedral-like
mopane forests, immense baobab trees, ancient rock paintings sites, and huge, rocky outcrops are very scenic. Second, it boasts huge populations of
black and white rhino, lion, leopard and wild dog. Third, it is incredibly exclusive: the entire reserve only features one lodge, and it’s luxurious
at that.
