AN OVERVIEW

The wildlife found within the Manyeleti Game Reserve is plenty and varied. And yes - this is a BIG FIVE reserve (Big Five being the five most dangerous animals to hunt on foot - including Lion, Leopard, Rhino, Buffalo and Elephant)..

From the more "exciting" predator species, such as the Lion, Cheetah, Hyena, Wild dog, Leopard, Side-striped Jackal and Black backed Jackal, to the graceful antelopes including Kudu, Giraffe, Impala and Duiker, Klipspringer, Steenbok, Bushbuck, and Nyala.

Other species include Elephant, Wildebeest, Zebra, Giraffe, White Rhino, Waterbuck, Warthog and large herds of Buffalo.

Uncommon sightings include the rare Black Rhino and Sable antelope.

Birdlife is prolific, with hundreds of species of some of the most beautiful birds the continent has to offer - an ornithologist's treat....

And don't forget those creatures found beyond scrubs, bushes, branches and stones. Reptiles, insects and rodents are also part of the experience.

This is a true holistic safari experience, balanced in every respect. But don't forget - we are on Mother Nature's terms. We enter this kingdom as observers with no guarantees. But is that not part of the spirit of the African Safari?
