Manyoni Private Game Reserve – Northern KwaZulu-Natal

Big 5 Safari Game Park | Zululand, South Africa

About Manyoni Private Game Reserve

Just 30 km north of Hluhluwe in north-western Zululand, KwaZulu-Natal, the Manyoni Private Game Reserve (formerly the Zululand Rhino Reserve) is one of South Africa’s most important conservation success stories.

Formed in 2004 when 17 farms dropped their fences to create a contiguous wilderness, the reserve spans 23,000 hectares. In October 2005, 21 black rhino were successfully released here – a milestone project that has since seen the reserve become a thriving home for the Big Five, with lion reintroduced soon after.

Today, Manyoni is a premier Big 5 safari destination, combining luxury safari lodges with world-class conservation.
