Welcome to Manzini River House in the Mjejane Game Reserve. This home is uniquely fenced into the world famous Kruger National Park – arguably one of most renowned wildlife reserves on earth, boasting a colossal size of 2.2 million hectares (bigger than Israel), with an incredible diversity of life which yields a count of 147 different mammal species, 336 tree species, and just over 500 species of birds – all being attributed to the vast variety of ecozones found here. The private Mjejane Game Reserve is 4000 hectares in extent, and is located on the southern boundary of the Kruger Park, directly on one of the park’s major 4 rivers – The Crocodile. This southern region is by far the richest in terms of wildlife existence, thus often resulting in very rewarding game viewing. Manzini River House is a brand new home which was built with the aim of being non-pretentious, casual and easy-living - ideal for families with the primary emphasis being shielded from the harsh African sun, containing big spacious airy bedrooms, and having a impactful outside area which ignites all ones senses by being on the flood plain of the Croc River overlooking the incredible vista of the Kruger Park.
My greatest passion is certainly the African bush. As a ex-game ranger, the wonders and magic of the Kruger Park run strongly in my blood, and so I am extremely blessed to have built a holiday home in the Mjejane Reserve (rated no. 1 wildlife estate in South Africa in 2017). I live in Cape Town, close to all my family, which I value the most in life. It is an absolute privelage for me to share my passion of the bush with people who have never witnessed its magic.
With safari and game viewing being the core purpose and activity of our villa's location, other amenities around the area include: - The nearby commercial lodge of the private reserve in which the villa is located on, offers a basic menu offering, and is in walking distance from the house. Booking is required. - Hamilton's restaurant, which offers a variety of comfort food, is located in the nearby town of Malelane, and is 25 km away. - Tambarina restaurant, which prides itself on Mozambiquen cuisine, is located in the nearby town of Komatipoort which is 30 km away. - Safaris on the private reserve may be booked at the nearby commerical lodge of the reserve, as well as at the timeshare reception - both in walking distance from the house. - Safaris into the main Kruger Park can be done in the guests own car (self-drive), or can be booked with a ranger at one of the entrance gates to the park, namely: Crocodile Bridge gate, and Malelane gate. - Nearby grocery stores such as SPAR, are located in both the nearby towns, namely: Malelane and Komatipoort. - Elephant interactions and its restaurant can be booked at the nearby Kwa Madwala sanctuary. - Tiger fishing can be done in
