3 Day Greater Kruger National Park Adventure Safari

3 Day Greater Kruger National Park Adventure Safari

Manyeleti Private Game Reserve is a Big 5 safari destination off the beaten path. The Manyeleti Private Game Reserve is located between the Timbavati and Sabi Sand Game Reserves and shares unfenced borders with the Kruger National Park. The 23,000-hectare Private Game Reserve offers a very authentic wildlife experience. There are no fences between the Kruger National Park and the Reserve, so wildlife are able to roam freely. Manyeleti is prime “Big Five” territory, offering exceptional possibilities for viewing the elusive leopard. Other Big 5 animals (lion, rhino, buffalo and elephant) are also often spotted on a very regular basis. In addition, with more than 300 bird species in the area, Manyeleti makes a great safari destination for wildlife enthusiasts, photographers and bird watchers alike.
