Manyoni Private Game Reserve is a shining jewel in the crown of the natural havens of the Zululand area of South Africa. Those who intend on experiencing a safari without equal should include this reserve on their itinerary. The 23,000-hectare reserve came to life after the fences were dropped between 17 individual properties, which led to a concerted effort to protect the biodiversity of the area’s landscapes and ecosystems.
It is these systems that now support the existence of a myriad of species. At the top of the list are the Big Five and endangered species like cheetahs and wild dogs. Manyoni Private Game Reserve is located only three hours drive from Durban, which has an airport with car hire facilities. Those intending to drive from Johannesburg should be prepared for a journey of around six hours.
