Kruger National Park: Manyeleti Game Reserve

Manyeleti means “Place of the stars” in the local language. It truly is a unique safari destination well off the beaten path. Not open to the public, you can expect a pristine bush experience in one of the world’s most beautiful places. This 23,000 hectare private game reserve borders directly to the vast Kruger National Park, as well as the famous Sabi Sands and Timbavati Game Reserves.

As there are no fences between the National Park and the private game reserves, experience the best game viewing possible, as wildlife can roam freely. Manyeleti is prime Big Five territory, offering exceptional good possibilities for viewing the elusive leopard. Other Big Five animals (lion, rhino, buffalo and elephant) are also often spotted on a very regular basis. Furthermore, with more than 300 bird species present in the area, Manyeleti makes a great safari destination for wildlife enthusiasts, photographers and bird watchers alike.

The Greater Kruger National Park refers to the Kruger National Park itself as well as the Private Game Reserves on the Western border of the Kruger National Park such as the Sabi Sand, Timbavati, Manyeleti and Thornybush Private Game Reserves just to name a few.

With just three lodges in this pristine bush area you can be sure to experience the best of South Africa far away from mainstream tourist areas. Manyeleti is one of those very few remaining ‘secret places’. Whether you are travelling with your partner for a romantic getaway or want to enjoy a perfect family holiday, this wonderful little Place of the Stars is the right place for you!
