Mkhaya Game Reserve Full Day Tour
Pick up at the Lodge and we travel to Mkhaya Game Reserve, named after the Acacia Nigrescens tree. The reserve comprises acacia-dominated thornveld in the south and broadleaf sandveld in the north. Unique, intimate encounters with Mkhaya’s wildlife are exceptional and all travel within the reserve is by open Land Rovers or on foot.
The reserve is crisscrossed with dry riverbeds, dotted with waterholes, and has a network of intertwined game-viewing roads. Mkhaya currently supports three of the Big Five; with leopard, buffalo, and rhino being present on the reserve.
You should be able to see the rhino up close and personal. A host of other games such as giraffe, hippo, crocodile, roan and sable antelope, and tsessebe, eland, kudu, ostrich, and vervet monkey are also seen regularly. The birdlife is also abundant and the rare Narina Trogan can sometimes be seen in camp along with the more common species such as the crested guinea fowl.
Mkhaya was set up as a breeding program for endangered species such as the black rhino, roan, and sable - a sighting of the elusive black rhino is normally very high up most visitors' lists, so keep your eyes peeled on those game drives.
