Set between Hoedspruit and Phalaborwa in Limpopo Province, Maseke Balule is an 8000-hectare private game reserve sharing open borders with the Kruger National Park. The landscapes here are characterised by mountainous ridges, mica caves, lush grasslands, and the beautiful Oliphants River. The park is home to all of the ‘Big Five’, as well as a range of other species such as African wild dog, Nile crocodile, honey badger, and a huge diversity of game and birdlife. Maseke offers numerous ways to explore its grounds, including daily game drives, sundowner sessions, and visits to secret viewing spots, and the animals are generally habituated to the vehicle, often allowing visitors to get within five metres.
Situated in the Limpopo Province and forming part of the Greater Kruger National Park in northeastern South Africa, the Balule Private Game Reserve is known for its abundant free-roaming wildlife, fascinating birdlife and is home to the renowned Big Five, which includes lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo, and leopard. While the big game is the undoubtable highlight of the reserve, visitors can also look forward to spotting an array of other African wildlife such as a variety of buck, zebra, giraffe, wildebeest and over 250 bird species living amongst the savannah, riverine forest and wooded mountains. Other popular activities include: boating down the Olifants River on an exciting water safari, visiting a cultural village, or horse riding, white water rafting and hot air ballooning through this spectacular landscape.
