Set within the pristine landscapes of the Greater Kruger Park Region, Wild Rivers Private Nature Reserve stretches along a 6-kilometre riverfront adorned with lush riparian forests, home to a rich variety of flora and fauna. Spanning 2,600 hectares, the reserve, bordered by the Blyde and Olifants Rivers, showcases diverse landscapes with rocky outcrops and savannas where plains game freely roam. While elusive leopards lurk in the shade of ancient trees and rivers host hippos and crocodiles, the absence of the "big five" allows residents to explore on foot. Gravel roads enhance the bush living experience, transforming trips to town into mini-safaris. With breathtaking scenery, diverse veld types, and abundant wildlife, Wild Rivers Private Nature Reserve is a hidden gem in the heart of nature.
