South African Private Game Reserves... Luxurious Big Five Game Viewing

Mala Mala Game Reserve, Londolozi Game Reserve, Timbavati Game Reserve, Sabi Sabi and Sabi Sand in Mpumalanga and now part of the Greater Kruger National Park region. They all offer great Big 5 sightings and viewing opportunities.

Shamwari Game Reserve close to Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape is an amazing story as it was literally started from scratch, the founders of the private game reserve Shamwari bought cattle farms in the area and converted it into a five star private game reserve. Gorah Elephant Camp is another good option for luxurious game viewing.

There are many more private game reserves in South and Southern Africa which support different bird, mammal, reptile and amphibian species.
