Description
Entabeni Safari Conservancy, rightfully dubbed The Place of the Mountain, is situated in the World Heritage Waterberg Biosphere. Approximately a three-hour drive north of Johannesburg, this 22 000 hectare malaria-free reserve boasts five ecosystems.
This Big 5 reserve is complemented by five different lodges, each comprising a unique blend of luxury and African wilderness, perfectly set in different immaculate locations of the reserve. The upper escarpment offers majestic craggy rock formations and wide-open grass plains. This is separated from the lower plateau by 600 m high cliffs.
The lower escarpment is approximately three degrees warmer and comprises sandveld vegetation and a series of wetlands. It is a place where the lion still reigns as king and Mother Nature still mesmerises with her power and beauty. Your modern African adventure starts here!
