Considered one of the leading pioneers of ecotourism in South Africa, Makalali Private Game Reserve represents a conservation mission to expand South Africa’s green frontier by re-establishing the ancient wildlife migration routes that linked the famous Kruger Park in the east to the lush Drakensberg Mountains in the west. In the process lion, cheetah, leopard, elephant, and rhino have all been reintroduced to the wild, making Makalali home to over one thousand wild animals including four of Africa’s “Big Five” (buffalo are excluded). Makalali is also home to the Africa’s “Little Five” which are the elephant shrew, the ant lion, the buffalo weaver, the rhino beetle and the leopard tortoise.
