This unique 4000ha reserve has no fences and is open to the Kruger Park, with all the game moving freely between the two. The Mjejane Reserve is managed by the South African Parks board (Kruger management) and all duties pertaining to the conservation of the area, is run by them.
The reserve has a network of roads in the free roaming bushveld area for game viewing, as well as a 14km road following the crocodile river offering the best viewing anybody could ask for. There is also a beautiful dam on the property (Hippo Dam), which attracts an abundance of game including elephant, buffalo and rhino. Enjoy maginficent sunsets, as the resident pod of hippo leave the water to feed. You will also be able to enjoy a night drive after sunset, giving you a chance to view some nocturnal creatures and perhaps the elusive leopard.
