ADRENALINE JUNKIES SAFARI from Durban

ABOUT YOUR TOUR

Connect with the African wilderness on foot and in an open safari 4x4 as you explore an award winning Big 5 private game reserve.

Wherever you are in the Zulu Kingdom you are no more than 3 hours from Africa’s iconic Big 5. Today, however, you’ll be a whole lot closer. We’re hitting the road pretty early (05h00). As you know wildlife, especially predators, are most active around dawn and dusk.

Meet your armed ranger who knows the reserve like the back of his hand and listen to a briefing on walking safari etiquette before embarking on your 2 hour walking safari within this Big 5 reserve. Your walking safari will focus on flora and smaller fauna.

This reserve only permits travellers staying at their luxury lodges to traverse the park, unless you’re with us of course. After a picnic lunch you will jump into an authentic open safari 4x4 and embark on a 4 hour game drive as we track Africa’s Big 5. At approximately 16h00 we will depart the reserve and head back to Durban.

BUCKETLIST DESTINATION

Manyoni Private Game Reserve

Mkuze, KwaZulu Natal

The reserve was established when 17 dedicated landowners dropped their fences to create a 23 000ha protected area that was chosen as a release site for the WWF Black Rhino Range Expansion Project. After the introduction of black rhinos, a herd of elephant from the Kruger National Park were translocated to the reserve. Cheetah were reintroduced in 2009.

The reserve achieved β€œBig 5” status when lions were introduced in 2011. More recently, a pack of African wild dogs, the most endangered carnivore in Africa, as well as the highly endangered pangolins were introduced making it one of the premier game reserves in South Africa.
