Manyeleti Reserve

Manyeleti Reserve

is located in the Kruger Private Reserves area of the Kruger National Park in the Northeast of South Africa.

This large private reserve of around 175 square kilometres borders the main park between the prime Timbavati and Sabi Sand North areas.

The reserve forms part of the western boundary of the greater Kruger protected area, there being no fences between here and the border with Mozambique.

The landscape here is the usual mix of undulating hills and thick thorn-scrub, modest open grasslands and seasonal rivers. Although the animals are free to migrate in and out, wildlife viewing is very reliable year round.

For historical reasons this area has a very low lodge density and therefore enjoys very low levels of vehicle traffic.


Tintiswalo Safari Lodge ... is the best lodge in the area, a genuinely upmarket option with accommodation in just six guest suites.

Tintswalo Manor House ... is just next door, another reasonably high quality option, this time for private groups of up to twelve guests in four rooms.
