Privately-owned and run, the upmarket Mkhaya Game Reserve is the gem of Swaziland’s heritage. It is also the country’s "Refuge for Endangered Species" - a sanctuary for the rare Black Rhino .
Accommodation in unforgettable style is offered in classic spacious safari tents and stone cottages. Being ‘closer to nature’ is the main focus of this reserve, and its no-nonsense approach to providing the genuine feeling of Africa.
All travel within the reserve is by open landrover or on foot with Swazi rangers. Wildlife is abundant and even with short visits the highly skilled trackers get you as close as possible to white rhino, elephant, hippo, giraffe, buffalo, crocodile, the rare roan antelope, zebra, sable and various other animals and birds. You will also see a lot of Nguni cattle (long-horned) in amongst the wild animals, as the protection of these cattle was the initial reason for this park being set up. However the main feature of Mkhaya Game Reserve for most visitors is the opportunity to see Black Rhino in the wild.
