Makalali Private Game Reserve

Limpopo Province, South Africa

Makalali, meaning "Place of Rest" in Shangaan, is a unique conservation initiative to expand South Africa's green frontier by re-establishing the ancient traditional wildlife migration routes that linked the famous Kruger Park in the east to the lush Drakensberg Mountains in the west. One of South Africa's premier privately-owned conservation areas, Makalali Game Reserve currently comprises an amazing 61,000 acres (including a 5,000 acre clean buffalo breeding camp) in the Lowveld region of the Limpopo Province of South Africa, a short distance from the world-renowned Kruger National Park. Over the past decade, Makalali has reintroduced a variety of wildlife onto the reserve, including lion, cheetah, leopard, elephant, rhino and the rare sable antelope, making Makalali home to Africa's "Big Five." In the process of relocating wildlife, Makalali has consistently contributed to conservation efforts to protect endangered species. Elephant were relocated from Kruger Park, sparing them from annual culling. Breeding herds of white rhino and sable antelope were relocated to diversify the free-roaming genetic populations, ultimately contributing to the survivability of the species.
