The view from Zulu Rock Lodge in Babanango Game Reserve in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
Babanango Game Reserve is a beautiful conservation story in the heart of rural KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. This malaria-free game reserve, which will soon be home to the Big Five, is one of the country s newest reserves and is set on the White Umfolozi River.
Encompassing mistbelt grasslands, thornveld and river frontage, the Babanango Game Reserve is a bush lover s paradise. It harbours abundant game species including giraffe, hyena and zebra and even the elusive aardwolf and aardvark. Rhinos and buffaloes have recently been introduced to the reserve, with the remainder of the Big Five being introduced over the next two years.
