Information about SanWild Wildlife Reserve
 
Situated in South Africa's Limpopo province, approximately 60km from the town of Tzaneen is the SanWild Wildlife Sanctuary. The 6000 hectare SanWild Wildlife Sanctuary has introduced numerous rescued and rehabilitated wild animals including impala, kudu, blue wildebeest, red hartebeest, waterbuck, common and mountain reedbuck, grey duiker, nyala, giraffe, zebras, steenbok, rhinos, hippos and elephants. Wild leopard and cheetahs roam freely and a pack of rescued African wild dogs will be introduced shortly. Many small predators like serval, caracal and civets can also be seen in the reserve and the sanctuary's large predator cats' rescue centre is home to 19 lions rescued from South Africa's sordid canned lion breeding and hunting industry.

The stylish Savannah Private Bush Camp consists of four luxury chalets with en-suite bathrooms and thatched roofs. Each luxury chalet sleeps 2 although more beds can be added for parents who want to keep an eye on there little ones. Satellite television is available in all the chalets. The central facility is set in beautiful gardens with a rock pool where guests can escape the heat while keeping a close eye on a wide variety of wild animals drinking from the waterhole a mere 80 meters away. The camp is completely fenced to keep out SanWild's large wild animals like elephants, rhinos and hippos.

A resident chef prepares scrumptious meals that are served in the dining room / lounge that has a huge fireplace for those cold rainy days. A veranda under thatch leads off to the dining room and includes a small pub where guests can relax or socialize during the day. Some evenings are spent in the open air boma area where meals can be prepared next to a campfire. A maximum of eight people are accommodated in the Savannah Private Bush Camp at any given time. The camp is also available to groups or for corporate bookings.

Guided eco-ranger walking trails are done very early every morning along with morning and afternoon game drives. Night drives are done by special arrangement. Optional day or over-night trips to other tourist destinations such as the world famous Kruger National Park including the Elephant Museum, Mojadji Cycad Reserve, Mac Mac Falls, Blyde River Canyon, Eco-Caves, Bourke's Luck Potholes, God's Window, the Pinnacle, cherry gardens or local tea and coffee plantations can be arranged.

We do also, by prior arrangement, arrange helicopter flips to Blyde River Canyon. Profits generated from the Savannah Private Bush Camp are applied on an equal basis to animal emergency rescues, resource management and the running of the wildlife rehabilitation centre.
