Founded in 1898 as one of Africa’s first game reserves and later transformed into a national park, Kruger is world renowned for both the quantity and quality of its wildlife. It’s also one of the continent’s largest parks of any kind, bigger than many European countries.

Kruger’s wildlife viewing is exceptional. But with around a million visitors each year, you won’t be alone.

Those questing a more intimate, personalized adventure in the Africa bush choose the Greater Makalali Private Game Reserve for their next South African safari. Or more precisely, one of the three remote-yet-upscale camps of the Garonga Safari Co.

Located just west of Kruger in the Limpopo region, the 27,000-hectare reserve provides an immersive bushveld safari experience that includes the Big Five of African wildlife and many other creatures.

Makalali is a leader in white and black rhino conservation and Garonga an active partner with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) in the reserve’s Black Rhino Range Expansion Project. This involves funding rhino relocations as well as teams of field rangers and working dogs that dedicate their lives to fighting rhino poaching in the Makalali.
